Our mission is to build a community where unused gear becomes a gift,
not waste - rehomed for free and shared sustainably!!
How it works:
If you have sporting/recreational gear in good/safe/working condition that your family has outgrown, please gift your gear during the gifting/drop-off dates.
If your family is looking for some 'new(ish)' gear - check out the gifted gear and rehome items for FREE on Sunday.
Gifting gear does not guarantee that you will find replacement gear for your family on the rehoming day.
You can rehome gear even if you have not gifted any gear (this is not an exchange).
This is NOT need-based. If your family will use/enjoy it, take it home.
