Crafters Giving Back To Our Communities
Local crafters come together to give back to local non profits, while putting on some amazing artisan markets in CT
Have you ever gone to a craft fair? Shopped from a vendor who hand made the piece you are interested in? Told you a story about that specific piece that you connected with, which made you love it even more? Have you ever gone to a craft fair that not only supports small local CT artisans but also gives back to local non profits organizations?
Welcome to Crafters Care Events! Started in 2020 during the pandemic, Crafters Care Events organizes both small and large artisan markets, highlighting local CT handmade vendors, and works directly with local non profit organizations that benefit from the events.
From Fall Fests to Holiday Artisan Markets, these events were started to showcase a variety of CT small business owners that create one of a kind pieces for sale, supporting the need to shop local. With (3) events taking place in 2023 (find more information on our Facebook Page - Crafters Care Events), local non profits like The Food Pantry of North Branford and The Community Dining Room of Branford will benefit from these markets.
