Buy Nothing Day State House Lawn, Friday November 29 From 10-4 pm

How would you like to get something you need without any money changing hands?

That's the concept behind Groundwork Providence's Community Swap Day this Friday, November 29.

Show up on the State House lawn in Providence on Friday between 10 am and 4 pm with either an unwanted item or the promise of your services, and you may be able to parlay that into something you do want or need. You might be able to swap your plumbing skills for a dresser, or an almost new leather jacket.

If the idea catches on, then Groundwork Providence will help set up local neighborhood bartering systems. At the Friday swap, Groundwork will make an announcement of an email discussion forum regarding bartering in the city.
