Swap (Sharing With A Purpose)

Description

• Washington University in St. Louiss Sustainable Nonprofit SWAP Mission Statement: To promote re-use within the Washington University community through the free exchange and affordable sale of donated goods Sharing With A Purpose is a student-owned and operated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate the open exchange of physical materials as well as knowledge-based resources among members of The Wash U and larger St. Louis communities. Since its founding in 2008, SWAP annually collects reusable items left by students during the spring move-out season and stores them over the summer. SWAP then resells these items to students at an affordable price during the fall semester move-in. (SWAP in the swamp). SWAP also runs the Trading Post, an exchange store on the Washington University campus. What we try to accomplish on a larger scale: The Mission of the Sharing With A Purpose (SWAP) is to bridge the gap between social justice and sustainability by empowering people to share resources. We aim to meet the needs identified by diverse communities through modes of collaborative consumption such as free markets, borrowing and barter networks, skill shares, and other efforts that reduce waste by making existing resources available for new use. We advocate for shared power and decision making in all actions, the open exchange of knowledge-based resources, and personal accountability for the well-being of others and of the earth. We strive to create interconnected networks of mutual solidarity and support. Our collective efforts make possible a future in which all people have access to the resources needed to thrive.
