Swap, don't shop!This barter-based event, taking place in the Salvation Army in Fairview, is an opportunity to get new, like-new, or lightly used items out of your house, and to explore other people's contributions for things you can use or gift to others this holiday season.
Our hope is to support connections in a caring community and reduce waste. There will be lots of time for conversations.
Bring one or more items that you think would make a good gift for someone else.
Suggestions:
-Items you were gifted and won't use
-Gift items you bought "just in case" and never found someone to give to
-Books read once by careful readers
-Lightly used jewelry or accessories
-Lightly used and like-new toys
-Puzzles put together once, with clean, intact boxes
-Gently-used board games
-Preserves, jams, jellies, mixes, etc (not expired please!)
Anything goes, as long as it's something you think would be nice to receive as a gift
Shop the table!
We will take a brief moment to say welcome; then, in small groups, we will invite people to take one item from the tables. After everyone has had the chance to select a few items, attendees are free to take any other items they can use. If something you brought doesn't get taken, you're free to take it home again. Any items left at the end of the swap will be donated to a charity (TBD).
If you have any questions, please ask this group!
Please reserve a ticket on Eventbrite, as simply clicking "going" on this page doesn't give us a good idea of who is coming.
