About Us

Since 1995, Ten Thousand Villages of Raleigh has been a destination for consumers concerned about how products are made and the working conditions of the people who make them. Our store is over 2600 sq feet and sells a wide variety of gifts, home décor, jewelry and personal accessories, musical instruments, coffee and chocolate. Many items are created with recycled or natural materials.

We have 60+ volunteers and a board of directors committed to the store's "business with a mission" of providing a marketplace for artisans in developing regions of the world. Our nonprofit store is one in a network of Ten Thousand Villages stores across North America.
