Have you heard of this fantastic Facebook group? Here is what they are all about:
“Buy Nothing. Give Freely. Share creatively. Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/BuyNothingProject/
We offer members a way to give and receive, share, lend, and express gratitude through a worldwide network of hyper-local gift economies in which the true wealth is the web of connections formed between people who are real-life neighbours.
Post anything you’d like to give away, lend, or share in this Buy Nothing community group. Ask for anything you’d like to receive for free or borrow. Abide by the Community Agreement. Keep it legal.

If you live here, we’d love to have you join us! You can join one group only, the group where you live so you can literally “give where you live.” This is what builds community. In this group there is no buying or selling, no trades or bartering, no soliciting for cash. We’re an adult-only, hyper-local gift economy. We are not a charity or community bulletin board.
Please check for a message from an admin via Facebook messenger to clarify and confirm that you meet our membership criteria and to welcome you to the group.
By joining this group, you agree to abide by our Mission and Rules. https://buynothingproject.org/the-fine-print-2/
