Sharing time

Our time and skills can be shared as well. Sometimes for free, but also sometimes for a cost. We love the idea of people being able to find help in their own neighborhood.

Why Share?

There are many reasons why a person may want to take part

Saving Money

Borrow instead of buy.

Saving Space

Supplement the household items you have with those of your neighbors.

Convenience

Borrowing something from a neighbor is closer than any other local tool or party rental.

Reducing Waste

See if there is someone nearby who has what you need, before you buy something for a one-time project.

About us

This idea came out of the College Park Climate Action Neighborhood in collaboration with the Franklin & Marshall College Center for the Sustainable Environment and some neighbors.
