Strange Exchange (SE) is a hyper-local, community-focused project that extends the useful life of small household items, reduces waste and knits local non-profits and individuals together through reuse. SE is an “exchange” only in the aggregate, i.e., people don’t need to bring something to take something. All items are free. To-date, 6,700+ lbs of items have been “reshuffled!” Come participate in the non-monetary economy and experience the thrill of reshuffling. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to start a Strange Exchange of your own.

Strange Exchange will be accepting the following items (please bring in clean and in good condition): eyewear (sunglasses, prescription glasses, eyeglass cases, soft cloths and repair kits); small pet items (bowls, leashes, collars, toys); paper products (greeting cards, postcards, envelopes, unused journals and notebooks, post-its & 2026 calendars); costume jewelry (including broken jewelry and single earrings); small hardware (hooks, nails, screws, knobs, tools, locks) and accessories (shoelaces, wallets and men’s belts). Some of these items will be offered back to the community (for free, of course!) and others will be delivered to our non-profit partners.
