Give Freely, Share Kindly — the same porch energy, in one neighborhood feed.

You're clearing out.Spring cleaning, emptying the garage, downsizing a room, moving and need it gone ASAP — post what you're ready to pass along on Buy Nothing. Someone nearby often wants exactly that shelf, crib, or box of kitchen gear.

You need something.Starting over after a divorce, between places, on a student budget, or just in a rough patch — browse free listings or post an ISO for what you're looking for. No income check, no story required. Dignity matters; neighbors help when the ask is clear.

This is the spirit behind Buy Nothing groups and front-porch free piles — made visible in one place so the handoff is ten minutes away, not ten shipping zones.

How to take part

  • Pass something on. List it on Buy Nothing with a short title, pickup area, and timing. Tag #buynothing or #free if you like — neighbors message in-app to claim.

  • Look for something free. Browse the Buy Nothing feed, or post an ISO for what you need and use tags like #buynothing / #free. On Browse, turn on ISOs open to free to see neighbors open to free handoffs.

Give what you can. Take what you need.
