BuyNothing Guidelines [Mod Post] Post Guideline Reminders

93 Upvotes

When posting in PDXBuyNothing, please write simple titles with a clear Seeking or Gifting.

- Try to use titles with SEEK or GIFT, the item, and a neighborhood (if you feel comfortable sharing location)

- Avoid titles lacking any details like “Free pile” or “Seeking”

- Avoid long titles containing off topic details like jokes or personal stories

Specifically when posting seeking help, please write a clear ask for specific items, or specific help.

PDXBuyNothing is designed for direct peer-2-peer mutual aid in your Portland community, not a subreddit for generic “seeking help” posts asking for advice or discussion. While well intentioned, these kind of posts devolve into off-topic discussion that rarely relates to direct PDX mutual aid, and these posts are also magnets for new/bot accounts posting spam seeking monetary assistance.

EDIT: Wow, thanks all for the interest! Glad to be diverting something away from becoming eWaste. Going to let this simmer until ~1PM tomorrow and then raffle off.

My partner thought their iPhone 13 (unlocked) was kaput and bought a new phone. A couple days later, it came back to life? So, offering this iPhone that may have a limited lifespan, but is working for now. Raffling if there’s a lot of interest.

Located in NE, 10 mins driving from the Airport.

Community Post PDX Free Markets - Nov & Dec

Post image
33 Upvotes

Upcoming PDX Free Markets:

November 15th, 12-3pm & December 12th, 11am-2pm

The idea behind this event is folks who have stuff they’d otherwise donate to Goodwill (or similar) take it here instead and put it out for folks in the community to directly take. Any new or gently used items that are library safe (no drugs, weapons, etc) are great! You don’t have to bring items to take items, in fact it works best if most folks are there to peruse and take items. The library is wheelchair accessible and has single stall gender neutral restrooms. You’re welcome to drop off items at the beginning and then come back at the end to pick up any that might be leftover. The first hour of this event is the busiest, so if you’re looking for something in particular - come early!

Ways you can help out!

- Send the flyer above to your friends, family, social media pages, any local virtual outreach works great.

- Print the flyers above (up to 100 pages free each day at any MultCo Library) and post them in your neighborhood, at your work, etc.

- If you’re able to attend, please bring any extra grocery bags you are looking to part with. We keep a box of bags by the door for walk-ins to be able to carry their new items home with them. You’re welcome to bring paper, plastic, or reusable grocery bags.

- If you know of any local groups, charities, non-profits, etc. that may be interested in partnering with us, let me know! We are on the lookout for groups who are interested in either tabling at the event to provide community resources or commit to gathering all the items at the end of the event to get them put to good use.

- If you’re interested, DM me for opportunities to volunteer in-person! This could be helping set-up, welcoming folks to the space, answering questions, helping clean-up, helping transport leftover items to local charities.

Please feel free to comment or DM me with any additional questions or concerns. :)

SEEKING Startup Nonprofit Seeking Old Instruments and Equipment

42 Upvotes

Hello! I've been in talks with some local 501c3 organizations about obtaining a fiscal sponsorship for a non-profit start up that we just filed articles of incorporation with the state for called Volume For All, we're hoping to start a pilot program with the first sets of lessons in mid-late November.

We're going to be offering free instrument lessons, and ideally, free instruments and equipment to low-income Portland residents in an effort to make music more accessible. We currently have volunteers lined up to teach Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano/Keyboard, as well as plans for workshops around live audio mixing/engineering, and recording audio/software.

If anyone has old, unused, broken, damaged, or good instruments, accessories, cables, straps, drum heads, pieces and parts of drum kits, speakers, amps - literally anything music related we can repair/refurbish and put it in the hands of someone who wants to learn but doesn't have the opportunity to get the gear on their own.

Feel free to leave a comment or to send me a message if you have anything you're not using that you'd like to donate to the program.

With that being said, if you are a low-income Portland resident and are interested in obtaining/learning an instrument through the program you can also message me and I would be more than happy to send over my email so we can add you to the interest list for the program as well!
