WOVEN
Knitting Factory is proud to announce WOVEN, a philanthropic initiative developed to give back to our local communities in meaningful ways. Why WOVEN? At Knitting Factory, we aim to be as much a part of the community as the music itself. By weaving music into the fabric of everyday life, we believe we can contribute to the overall happiness and vitality of our community.At Knitting Factory, music isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about building relationships, creating memories, and enhancing overall well-being. Whether through live performances by local artists, intimate acoustic sessions, or collaborative community events, Knitting Factory strives to provide a space where music flourishes and connections are made.
A portion of every ticket sold will be donated on an annual basis to carefully selected partners in Boise, Idaho and Spokane, Washington where our flagship venues are located. The goal of WOVEN is twofold: to raise awareness for these outstanding organizations and to provide direct funding that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community. By giving back to the communities that have embraced and supported Knitting Factory over the years, we strive to foster a spirit of collaboration and collective well-being.

More about @chsidaho
The Children’s Home Society of Idaho was founded in 1908, originally operating as an orphanage. In 1975, when orphanages began to become obsolete, the Children’s Home established the Warm Springs Counseling Center and transitioned to providing outpatient mental health care to youth. In 2024, the Warm Springs Counseling Center began to operate under a new name – Children’s Home Counseling Services – in an effort to streamline our identity and better reflect the comprehensive range of services we provide.
The Children’s Home remains steadfast in its commitment to providing equitable access to mental health care for all children, regardless of financial circumstances or support systems. Through donor support, fundraising efforts, and innovative services, the organization continues to uphold its mission of ensuring every child receives the care they deserve.
