The gift that gives twiceHandmade in Western New York. Given with twofold purpose.
The Made for Good is a small shop on Warren Avenue filled with the work of local artists, crafters, and makers - jewelry, pottery, prints, candles, textiles, and objects you won't find anywhere else. Every piece is one of a kind. Every purchase gives twice: a portion supports the maker whose work you've chosen, and the rest supports KVIS, the volunteer-run community nonprofit that operates the shop and reinvests the proceeds right back into Kenmore. The shop opened in 2023, after fifteen years of KVIS's work bringing this village together. It is a small, lovingly tended place — a good stop for a gift, an unplanned afternoon, or an introduction to makers you'll want to follow. Complimentary seasonal gift wrapping for purchases over $10.00.

Interested in becoming a Made for Good Maker?
You do the Making. We do the Selling.
If you're an artist, crafter, or maker interested in seeing your work in the shop, we'd love to talk. Made for Good proceeds stay in the Kenmore area, and participating makers become part of a growing village-wide conversation about local craft. When your goods are purchased through the Made for Good shop, the funds the KVIS makes make go right back into the Kenmore area. Contact us today if you're interested in selling your handmade items at the shop.
