Our Mission

The Sandhills Woman's Exchange was founded in 1922 as a means to address the economic hardships faced by the rural women of the North Carolina Sandhills. Providing a managed location where their local handcrafts and food goods could be sold and monies returned to the makers, the Sandhills Woman's Exchange has served a great need in our community for over 100 years.

A 501c(3) nonprofit, we continue our mission of "helping others help themselves" in the 1823 log cabin, we call home. The SWE still showcases North Carolina handcrafted wares, primarily from local artisans. Our Cabin Café is a much favored dining spot for lunchtime meals, offering only homemade, in-house selections.

With only 2 paid staff, volunteers offer their help, skills, times, talents and financial support to continue the operation of the Woman's Exchange.

A member of the Federation of Woman's Exchanges, we are one of 14 remaining Exchanges in the country, from a number that once counted over 100.
