UWaterloo Charity Handmade Market
The Waterloo Handmade Charity Market is a student-led fundraising event designed to support the Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society. The event invites Waterloo students to sell their handmade crafts—such as crochet items, jewelry, stickers, art prints, cards, and more. Each vendor will contribute a $20 booth fee, and 100% of the collected booth fees will be donated to KWHS.
Additionally, visitors who donate $1 or more will receive a printed photo or postcard featuring one of the animals currently waiting for adoption at KWHS. The goal is to create a warm, meaningful campus atmosphere that raises awareness about animal welfare while giving student creators a platform to share their work.
