we love our community
As one of the first businesses in Peoria's renovated Warehouse District, Crafted has always been committed to giving back to the community that has shown us so much love.
drink to donate
Since opening our doors in 2020 Crafted has donated over $11,000 to local charities, fifty cents at a time - through our Drink to Donate program.
​
Each month a different charity is chosen, for the month of October 2024 fifty cents from every drink you have at Crafted will go to The Chillicothe Zombie Walk
​
From the Organization:
The Chillicothe Zombie Walk organization was founded in an effort to bring awareness to and raise funds for brain tumor research. This cause is very near and dear to the organization as one of its co-founders is a two-time brain tumor survivor after being diagnosed in 2005 and 2016. The third annual Chillicothe Zombie Walk will be held at the start of the Nightmare on Second Street Halloween Parade in Downtown Chillicothe on October 26th. Participants are encouraged to dress up and show us their best zombie walk to support this vital cause one zombie step at a time! All proceeds from the Nightmare on Second Street event, including all registrations for the Zombie Walk, are donated to the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria to fund brain tumor research in this area.
community night
Every Thursday 4:30-9:30pm we aim to foster community by offering our studio as a free-to-use third place for anyone looking for a table and chair to craft at. Bring in sewing, knitting, painting, anything you can carry! Or you are always welcome to try one of our crafts. No purchase necessary and no reservations required.
