Shop The Handmade Market and help animals in need!

There is no admission fee to Saturday’s Handmade Market, but your $3-$5 suggested donation will benefit AnimalKind, an organization whose mission is to help eliminate the euthanasia of adoptable animals in the Triangle area of NC and beyond.

In exchange for your donation, you’ll receive a free Handmade Market tote bag, courtesy of Ornamentea. (While supplies last - we only have 500!)

You’ll also have a chance to win one of several gift baskets filled with handmade goods and services donated by our Charity Sponsors.

So when you visit The Handmade Market, we hope you’ll consider participating in our fundraiser to benefit AnimalKind. Your small donation can make a big difference!
