During the Milwaukie Community Center’s annual closure, we were busy making some exciting improvements to the Center. You may have noticed the gift shop has been revamped! The space has been spruced up with beautiful new flooring and bright paint! The MCC Foundation is the driving force behind the improvements to the gift shop, with the goal of making it a welcoming and inviting destination for finding the perfect gifts for your loved ones or for yourself.

Rooted in the community, Artisan Gifts features unique handmade goods made by local artisans and makers. Over the next few months, a wonderful mix of new items will be introduced, spanning jewelry, ceramics, art, weavings, blown glass, woodworking and more. With every purchase and donation, you are supporting the essential programs and services at the Milwaukie Community Center and providing meaningful income opportunities for artisans and their families. There are more enhancements to come – so stay tuned!

The Foundation is grateful to Milwaukie Floors and More for their generous contribution of the beautiful new flooring.

Come visit the newly named ‘Artisan Gifts’ for that perfect present for someone special or a treat for yourself from a local artisan.
