The Giving Table

There’s always something to bring to the table.

The Giving Table is a new community exchange series by The Foundry Cooperative, created around one simple idea: bringing people together through the joy of sharing.

Each edition of The Giving Table will offer something different to exchange—from handmade goods and books to cookies, garden treasures, recipes and more.

This isn't a vendor market.

There are no booths.

No pressure to sell.

Instead, we gather, we bring something to share, and we leave with something new—along with the stories, conversations and connections made around the table.

FIRST AT THE TABLE:

The Harvest Edition

A Handmade Goods Exchange

For our inaugural Giving Table, we're celebrating the makers among us.

Bring 5–10 identical handmade items (+ 1 item to add to the Community Basket raffle) to contribute to the table and receive one exchange ticket for each item you bring. Once the table is full, you'll use your tickets to choose creations made by other members of our community.

Your contribution might be fresh-baked sourdough, homemade jam, candles, ceramics, crochet, jewelry, artwork, soap, baked goods, florals, garden goods or something completely unexpected.

If you made it with your hands, we'd love to see what you bring to the table.

Your experience includes:

• Participation in our curated handmade exchange 
• Exchange tickets to swap for items on The Giving Table
• A signature The Giving Table tote to fill with your finds
• Light bites + refreshments
• Entry into our Community Basket raffle
• And a $5 gift card redeemable at The Foundry Cooperative on the date of the event.

Space at The Giving Table is intentionally limited. 

We believe handmade is more than a product.

It's time.

It's creativity.

It's tradition.

It's love made tangible.

Because when we share what we've made, we don't just exchange goods—we exchange stories, inspiration, and pieces of ourselves.  We look forward to having you at our Table. 

Come with something to give. Leave with something to treasure.

Create. Share. Connect.
