It started by hosting "I Don't Wear This Anymore" parties. Our friends would get together with all the clothes and accessories they did not use, fit or need anymore. Even though we all came with what seemed the same number of bags we left with - there were bags and bags of leftovers to go to women's shelters in the area.
After a few years it expanded to "I Don't Want This Anymore" and included books, household items, and more. And, the size of the donations increased, too.
Well, now we have the space to regularly share with our community.
We're in the process of applying for our 501c3 status.
Besides all that - my business partner, Harrison, and I are members of the FreeCycle, Freegan and Diggers communities.
There's nothing so sweet as something gifted for free :)
We strongly believe that there is more than enough to go around as long as we remember to: Share what we have, Give what we can, Take what we need, Leave less behind.
