Buy Nothing Groups
Give and get free in your neighborhood.
1. Free Buy Nothing app
Find neighborhood-only groups. Everyone gives, no money exchanged.
2. Facebook groups
Search Buy Nothing + your city. Most have hundreds of members.
3. Common giveaways
Furniture, kids' toys, garden seeds, books, leftover holiday food.
4. Ask for things
Need a vacuum? Post a request. Often someone gives one.
5. Polite culture
Most groups don't allow selling. First-come-first-served not preferred.
6. Builds community
Lonely seniors find this connects them with neighbors. Real friendships form.
Pay it forward. If you receive, give back later when you can.
