Free For All has a website!!!

Dee from Johnsonville

Approximately 18 months ago a group called Free For All eas created to divert usable items from the waste stream. We have really battled in our journey but We have continued to give free stuff to the community for that whole time with NO conditions! We have been posting in local for sale groups but my dream is to go nationwide and even international. We have been doing this and it works.

"About 18mths ago we started an organisation called Free For All. We believe that there is enough "stuff" in the world and we should start sharing more. We have created this amazing website where everything on it is free. It doesn't matter if you can afford to go out and buy it new or not it is about using the items that have already been made to the fullest before they are recycled or taken to landfill.

The thing is this website is usable all over NZ. All you do is register (which is free) and list the items you wish to share within the community (No naughty stuff e.g. guns. Alcohol etc hehe). It will be published on the website and when someone wants the item you are offering they reserve it and contact you via email to arrange collection and of course you can reserve items as well but the thing is you can only get what people are sharing. So for this to work people need to give away stuff as well as reserve stuff. So if you are about to have a spring clean please think about sharing directly with your community !

Our goal is to keep usable items out of landfill by sharing. Will you help us?"

No one gets paid. We fundraise to cover costs, which often aren't covered so my husband and I find the money. I gave up my teaching career and commit myself fulltime to this because I believe in it.

Thanks for taking time to read this.
