The Greenwich Exchange for Women’s Work was founded in 1901. It is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run craft and gift shop, supporting independent craftspeople from Fairfield County and beyond.
Purchases from the shop give artisans locally, throughout the US and in developing countries, the opportunity to earn income that pays for food, education, healthcare and housing by bringing their unique handmade products and stories to customers, bringing financial independence, piece of mind and self-esteem to those creative individuals.
