The Buy Nothing Project is the world's biggest gift economy, being used in communities around the world, allowing neighbours to share freely with one another.What is a gift economy? It means everything shared on Buy Nothing is given freely, no money, no barter, no strings. Free. On Buy Nothing, you can post three things: GIFTS of items or services that others can use ASKS for things you could use GRATITUDES to show appreciation and thanks
Our communities are guided by Community Builders that offer help, guidance, reminders, creative challenges, and overall positive vibes to help our communities thrive. We currently have a Buy Nothing group for neighbours in Southwood (Daly Grove, Crawford Plains, Pollard Meadows), Millhurst (Meyokumin, Sakaw) and Knottwood (Ekota, Menisa, Satoo). If you live here, we’d love to have you join us so you can give where you live! This is what builds community. In this group there is no buying or selling, no trades or bartering, no soliciting for cash. We’re an adult-only, hyper-local gift economy. We are not a charity or community bulletin board.
