There are lots of services in our local area designed to help us all, however many times they go unrecognized or are difficult to find. Here you will find links to many of the services we have found useful and hope you may find benefit from them as well!
Buy Nothing. Give Freely. Share Creatively. -- Give, Ask, Appreciate!
We offer members a way to give and receive, share, lend, and express gratitude through a worldwide network of micro-local gift economies in which the true wealth is the web of connections formed between people who are real-life neighbors. 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. Keep it legal. Keep it civil.
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.
