CWS Marketplace

Shop Small. Shop Local. Support Women Refugees.

Made in Harrisburg by artisans representing many countries, these handmade crafts directly support the women who create them as well as CWS Harrisburg’s programs that provide them and their families the support they need to thrive in our region.

This program provides our artisans needed income, a creative and productive outlet, business skills, and helps build community as they share their stories through their handwork. Sales of these handcrafts help our artisans to support their families as they work toward self-sufficiency. Our artisans design and create the items. We provide the training, supplies, tools, and opportunities to proudly showcase their immense talents and abilities.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and at #cwshbgmarketplace for highlights of our newest handcrafts and stories from the artisans who created them.

Be a Part of Our Program - Volunteer!

We’re seeking individuals and teams to help our artisans create! Can you host a Fabric Bee with your BFF or a group of friends? We need help in sorting and packaging our fabric donations, getting great ideas and patterns for new and simple products. We drop off and pick up! We also have a sort list of donated items we’re seeking. Please email Erika Juran at ejuran@cwsglobal.org to get started.

Your Support Matters
