I Want to Give Items Away or I’m Looking for Something
Overview
The Buy Nothing Project connects neighbors through a worldwide network of hyper-local gift economies where people give, receive, lend, share, and express gratitude—freely and without expectation.
If you’re looking to give items away (like furniture) or hoping to find something you need, the easiest way to get started is through the Buy Nothing app.
