Since launching in 2019, Woven Earth has supported thousands of lives by providing furniture, homewares, household essentials, children’s items, and other practical necessities that help families start again with dignity, stability, and hope.

This partnership provides a meaningful opportunity for the Gift Fair community, both exhibitors and visiting retailers, to make a tangible difference by donating suitable products. Donations may include excess stock, discontinued lines, samples, display products, end-of-season inventory, homewares, gifts, toys, furnishings, household items, and other quality products that can be repurposed to support families in need.

Throughout the fair, Woven Earth will have a dedicated stand where they can engage directly with exhibitors and retailers, share their story, explain the impact of donations, and discuss ongoing partnership opportunities. A collection area will also be available onsite for easy product drop-off. For larger donations, Woven Earth can arrange collection or delivery logistics directly with the donors.

Together, the Spring 2026 Gift Fair and Woven Earth aim to demonstrate the power of our industry to create positive social impact while reducing waste and giving quality products a second life. This initiative aligns the generosity of our community with a practical and immediate need, helping create loving homes for families rebuilding after family violence.
