Community Makers Foundation

Beat the heat with us. Our next Community Maker's night is right around the corner!
This heat wave is no joke, so enjoy a cool, creative escape indoors. Drop in anytime between 5:00 and 7:30pm next Friday, July 10th and make a one-of-a-kind bag from scrap fabric. Perfect for pool days or to hold your summer reads!

No experience needed. No cost. Just bring yourself or your friends!

Every stitch has a second story here. You'll turn fabric scraps that might have been thrown away into something you'll actually use.
And while we craft, we give back. Our community outreach this month supports a local animal shelter. Together we'll upcycle cardboard into scratch posts for the cats waiting at the shelter. Your hands help two causes in one night: less waste, and more purring. 🐾

Cool room, good company, and a fun craft you get to take home. Bring a friend, bring the kids, bring a neighbor. Everyone belongs here. Supplies are limited so be sure to register here: https://forms.gle/iFbkZHRy9s2fDroZ6

When: Friday July 10th, drop in anytime from 5:00 to 7:30pm
Where: Daventry Community Room, 7721 Painted Daisy Dr, Springfield, 22152
Cost: Free

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, father figures, and mentors who show up with love every single day.
Whether you’re building forts, fixing bikes, or just always answering the phone, thank you for everything you do.
From all of us at Community Makers Foundation, we hope today is filled with the people who make you feel celebrated. 💙

Had so much fun seeing every single tile these amazing kids created. Their creativity and inspiration never cease to amaze me! I hope every student enjoys getting to see their little piece come together as a whole. 🥳

We have exciting news for our June Community Makers Night!

We are heading to a NEW location. Join us at Daventry Community Room on Friday, June 12 anytime from 5:00 to 7:30pm. 7721 Painted Daisy, Dr, Springfield, 22152.

And the craft? It is a good one.

In honor of Father's Day, each participant will create two wooden beaded keychains: one to keep as a meaningful gift for the dad in their life, and one to give to a local father in our community. Because the best gifts are the ones that spread a little further.

Whether you come with Dad to make something together, or sneak away with mom to make a surprise, everyone leaves with a keepsake and a piece of kindness to pass on.

We will have all materials ready, a fun photo op backdrop, and a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere for you to enjoy. Drop in anytime between 5:00 and 7:30pm. No experience needed.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required as spots are limited. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/PyuUAEa5DSLsxjVY7

Community Makers Foundation is a nonprofit. We work hard to keep our monthly events free and accessible to every family in our community. If you would like to support that mission, donations are always appreciated: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/community-makers-night

We hope to see you there.

🎉 Father's Day is coming and we are making something SPECIAL.
Join us on Thursday, June 12th from 5:00 to 7:30 PM for our free Father's Day community craft event!

Together we will hand-make one-of-a-kind layered wooden keychains, a real keepsake Dad, Grandpa, Pops, or any special person in your life will actually use and treasure. Each keychain is built in layers with hand-painted art, a laser-cut wood silhouette, and a beaded cord personalized by YOU. No experience needed. All supplies provided. All ages welcome.

This is a free event open to the whole community! 🖌️🧡

👉 Be sure to register as space is limited, so grab your spot ahead of time. (This also helps us make sure we have enough materials ready for every maker who walks through the door!)

Still soaking in the sweetness of Friday’s Mother’s Day Community Maker Event 🌸

What started as paper flowers, paint, and wood turned into something so much bigger:
🧡families creating together
🧡children making heartfelt gifts for moms
🧡 community members giving back to women they may never meet
🧡 kindness spreading one handmade piece at a time

Together, participants created 72 beautiful floral keepsakes, one to take home and one to donate to local young and single mothers through our community partners.

Watching the room fill with creativity, laughter, and genuine connection was such a beautiful reminder of why community matters.

A huge thank you as well to Miryam at mgh.creates for generously donating the beautiful hand painted Mother’s Day banner that helped make the space feel so special 🧡

Thank you to every mother, family, volunteer, donor, and supporter who helped make this event possible. We are endlessly grateful 🌿

More photos to come!

Happy Mother’s Day🧡

Today we’re celebrating the mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, bonus moms, and women who pour so much of themselves into caring for others every single day.

The nurturing, teaching, comforting, creating, carrying, encouraging, sacrificing, and loving; even in the quiet unseen moments, matters more than words can say.

We hope today holds a little beauty, rest, joy, and appreciation for all of you.

And to everyone who joined us this week creating handmade gifts filled with love and intention… thank you for helping spread kindness far beyond our walls 🌸

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Community Makers Foundation!
