Free for All ~ Thing Swap
Sunday, March 29, 2026
9 am-12 pm
Western Shasta Resource Conservation District,
6270 Parallel Road, Anderson, CA 96007
Join the Shasta Environmental Alliance and the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District for a lively “Free for All ~ Thing Swap”—a morning of sharing, treasure‑hunting, and community connection. Bring gently used items you no longer need, set them out for others to enjoy, and browse the tables to see what useful or delightful things you might take home.
​
Thing swaps are a simple, joyful way to care for our ecosystem by reducing consumption, extending the life of everyday items, and keeping usable goods out of the landfill. They also strengthen community ties—every shared object becomes a small act of generosity that helps neighbors meet neighbors.
Event Details
You may place your giveaway items on the tables provided or bring your own. Please label any personal tables as “not part of swap” so they return to their owners at the end of the event.
Participants are responsible for removing any unclaimed items they brought. Event organizers cannot provide disposal or cleanup services.
After you’ve finished setting out and collecting items, stay to enjoy informal community activities—games, raffles, and opportunities to connect with others who care about reducing waste and building a resilient local community.
