We will Share the Plate with Inscape Collective
Inscape Collective is a collective in Midtown Rockford at 201 7th Street, the former home of the Just Goods Fair Trade Store. We are excited to carry on the legacy of community-oriented activities in this beautiful space. Inscape is a unique social enterprise. Our retail shop sells products from diverse female artists, artisans and entrepreneurs. Proceeds from our sales go towards subsidizing a wide-array of life-enhancing programming to ensure that it is accessible to women of all socio-economic backgrounds. We will offer programs in areas ranging from the creative arts, holistic health, exercise and entrepreneurial skills, to meditation and mindfulness. The ultimate aim of these programs is to help women make meaningful friendships while engaging in activities that promote self-development and creativity. Click Here to Donate
