Please see information below about the newly formed (June 2021) Buy Nothing Group for Pelham residents. The groups are delineated by geographical area as it’s meant to be sharing within a community. There are groups for other communities, and if there isn’t one for a specific area, people are welcome to start their own! St.Catharines, Niagara-on-the-lake and Niagara Falls have their own groups.
Buy Nothing is a network of over 6,500 groups worldwide. It offers members a way to give and receive, share, lend, and express gratitude through a worldwide network of hyper-local gift economies in which the true wealth is the web of connections formed between people who are real-life neighbours. You post anything you’d like to give away, lend, or share in this Buy Nothing community group. Ask for anything you’d like to receive for free or borrow. Abide by the Community Agreement. Keep it legal.
If you live in Pelham, we’d love to have you join us! You can join one group only, the group where you live so you can literally “give where you live.” This is what builds community. In this group there is no buying or selling, no trades or bartering, no soliciting for cash. We’re an adult-only, hyper-local gift economy. We are not a charity or community bulletin board.
