'Making people happy': Auburn craftsman donating toys to charities during pandemic
Al "Doc" Hughes III decided in August to donate all the wooden toys he would create for the rest of the year, through his business, even though he would lose money. Painstakingly crafting his toys without charging these last few months has cost him money, but he said the idea of making families happy during the COVID-19 pandemic has made it worthwhile. Hughes, who has run his Auburn-based business, The Wood Hospital, for over 25 years, said he knows a lot of people are out of work due to the outbreak. He noted many craft and trade shows have been canceled.
