Community-wide Swap on January 28th
Bike&Walk Montclair member and environmental leader, Pat Kenschaft, sends us this information bout the upcoming Community-wide Swap on January 28th.
She says, “A crucial step in preserving our environment is reusing things as long as they are usable, so we don’t use the water, energy, and resources required in making new things.”
Do you have lots of stuff around your home that you don’t use and want to
get rid of? Or how about a coat you received this holiday season that doesn’t fit or a book that you know (just between us) you’ll never read – donate your new or gently used things to the Hillside Winter Swap.
Or maybe you didn’t get those pants or that game you were hoping for. Come
browse the Hillside Swap for great finds. The Swap will take place on Saturday, January 28th, with drop off of donations on Friday, January 27th.
As always, the swap is free and open to everyone. All the information is
below.
