HeavenDropt recycles military parachutes to make a better world for employees

LARGO, Fla. - HeavenDropt is a Largo-based company that makes unique products out of recycled military parachutes. 

The company is a social enterprise of Evergreen Life Services, a non-profit organization that finds employment for people with developmental disabilities and Veterans with disabilities.   

"We take that classic, historical military parachute and turn it into a product that gets used every day," says Robby Groover, HeavenDropt’s national director of sales and business development. 

A few of the products include necklaces, bracelets, hammocks, backpacks, keychains and tote bags. 

"It tells a story of the person that served in combat and jumped. It helps to pass that story on to future generations and really give an ohmage to the paratrooper," said Groover.
