Swap Meet

Join us for the next 95033free swap meet on Saturday, April 4, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the Loma Prieta Gymnasium, 23800 Summit Road. It's like a giant garage sale where everything is free. Bring along clean, usable items in good working condition—anything from a single item to a truckload—to share with neighbors.

Skip anything that’s better suited for the landfill. If it’s not something you’d give a friend, it probably doesn’t belong at the swap. You don’t need to stay with your items, but please return at noon to pick up anything that wasn’t claimed.

If you don’t have anything to contribute, a $5 donation allows you to take what you need for personal use. Collecting items for resale is not allowed from 9 to 10:30 a.m. For more information, email Leslie O’Malley at h2ominded@gmail.com or Miriam Watson at ilovethemountains@gmail.
