The Tenth Annual Bellingham Abundance Swap is happening!
If you feel like saving money and getting away from the long lines and crowds at big box stores, there’s another option to get your holiday gifts.
The 10th Annual Abundance Swap is happening in Bellingham on Tuesday, December 6th. On that day, you can bring three to five new or gently used gift-like items to give away. Then, you can pick up the same number of items from things other people have brought.
The organizers say it’s more than just about swapping gifts. It’s about sharing stories about the items you brought and meeting new people. As it is being held at Lake Samish this year, it is especially about building local community.
Handmade things are encouraged as well.
The idea stems from the original swap that started in Ashland, Oregon 20 years ago.
The Abundance Swap in Bellingham will be held on Tuesday, December 6th at Camp Lutherwood, 1185 Roy Road, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. for table set up.
Donations will be collected to cover the rental of the space, but are not required for participation.
