Come as you are. 
Leave with friends. 

Friends Keep is a dedicated, inclusive, nonalcoholic space for people to come and make friends, feel included, and just have a safe spot to enjoy being around others.

Play board games, come read, feel safe, and most importantly, connect with other members of the community!

Location coming soon to Wichita, Kansas!

Keep It Together ICT & Friends Keep

We’ve been sharing pieces of this vision for a while—now it’s time to lay it all out.

This is a community project built around one simple idea:
people do better when they have a place to belong.

We’re creating a physical space (and connected network) designed to bring Wichita together in real, intentional ways.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • Weekly vendor booth rentals
    A consistent, affordable space for local makers, artists, and small businesses to sell their work every week.
  • Weekly community events
    Regular gatherings focused on connection, creativity, and shared experiences.
  • Social comfort system
    A simple way for people to signal if they’re open to chatting, networking, or just observing—so everyone can engage at their own pace.
  • Local artist consignment opportunities
    A place for artists to display and sell work even if they can’t be physically present.
  • Open hangout space (outside of events)
    A welcoming environment to play board games, relax, or connect with others anytime the space is open.
  • Local business directory ($12/year)
    A curated online listing of Wichita businesses to help people discover and support local spots year-round.
  • Alcohol-free social space
    A safe, welcoming environment for people of all ages and backgrounds to meet, connect, and feel comfortable.
  • Community + city collaboration
    Partnering with local businesses and organizations to support city events, pop-ups, and shared opportunities.

At its core, this is about building something Wichita can actually use—not just attend, but return to. A place that grows with the people inside it.

If you’ve ever wanted a stronger local community, more connection, or a space that feels like it was made for you—you’re already part of this.

We’re just getting started.
