HandMadeForLife exists to sell handcrafted wooden items in support of pro-life ministries in the Philadelphia area.

I supply all the materials and labor at my own expense. Prices run from $5 to $25. All proceeds from sales at churches will go directly to the church for distribution to the pro-life ministry of their choice. To arrange a sale at your church or pro-life organization, contact me at mikebranhut@hotmail.com.

Ministries we have supported:
Pro-Life Union
Guiding Star Maternity Home
Holy Family Home for the Elderly Poor
The Cenacle
Maternity BVM St. Vincent DePaul Society
St. Margaret of Castello Maternity Home
