The Gift Gallery by Weaver Industries
The County of Summit Developmental Disabilities Board and Weaver Industries have joined together to create the Gift Gallery by Weaver Industries that is proud to feature a wide variety of rare, handcrafted items made by Summit County artisans with disabilities. Their artistry is encouraged through their individual day programs which includes creating handcrafted pottery and hand-sewn items. At the Gift Gallery you will find these products perfect for any occasion and budget, as well as gift wrap, greeting cards, gourmet treats and more. The objective is to help to support community employment opportunities and programs. The Gift Gallery offers “the right gift... at the right price... for the right reason.”
