Welcome to the Sixth Community Share!
We had an excellent time the first four times,
and I bet this time will be great as well!
➡️ Everyone whether they are in a Buy Nothing Group or not is welcome to come and take part! (This event is not affiliated with Buy Nothing, though, fun fact, it was inspired by the book by the Buy Nothing creators!)
💗 PLEASE HELP ME BY SHARING; last time so many people were sad to miss it. So let's get this info to as many people as we can!
➡️ This is about bringing and taking,
and you may DROP OFF YOUR ITEMS!
👍🏻 BRING: things that you no longer want, need, or use, but you think someone else may want, need, or use. When deciding, think about the condition: used, gently used, and new are great, As a rule of thumb, please only bring things that you would donate, since the extras will be donated. Since this one is right before the winter holidays, think of things that would be great gifts!
THIS COMMUNITY SHARE IS FOR SPECIFIC ITEMS ONLY!
Please only bring:
Books
Art Supplies
Puzzles
Board Games
DVDs/CDs
and Food.
🛑 Please DO NOT bring:
anything that does not call into the categories listed above.
We are doing a drop off this time because we have plans where these things can go!
⭐ TAKE: whatever you'd like! This is not a swap, so please don't think of this as a one in one out thing. These items are given freely and as gifts, and they're for you! Take what you think you can use.
🛑 IMPORTANT: Do NOT take things with the intention of reselling them. This goes against the Buy Nothing spirit. If you need to sell something to get money for something else, think about asking for it instead in a community group.
WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN:
⭐ Bring and take mindfully (like stated above)
⭐ Bring extra reusable or plastic bags if you have to donate. These will be helpful to have on hand for people who wander in and want to take things.
⭐ Tell everyone you know! We need givers and takers to make this work.
⭐ Coming? Find the post where people are talking about what they're bringing and what they're looking for, and add a comment about what you're bringing and what you're looking for.
Thanks everyone!
➡️ For those that don't know me, I'm Kathy Ellen Davis, a teacher, Mama, and ninja (like American Ninja Warrior but I'm not there...YET!) who is trying to live a lot more intentionally, and I've been giving things away for a while.
I thought this would be a great event to end the year with, and a great way to meet likeminded neighbors and community members. If this goes well, I'll host another in May!
If you RSVP, I've set the guests going as private,
and I've set it so posts do not need to be approved by me to be posted. If everyone behaves and is kind we can keep it that way...I know you can do it!
