Swap Shop
The Champlain College Swap Shop aims to provide a welcoming forum for members of our campus community to donate, exchange, and take home items free of charge.
Temporarily Closed
Please note, the Champlain College Swap Shop is temporarily closed. We will update Fall 2024 hours here as soon as possible.
We are committed to environmental and economic justice, recognizing that there can never be an assumption of someone¡¯s financial or life circumstances and that every person should have adequate access to basic amenities, such as clothing and food, as part of their personal journey towards a dignified existence.
All of our items are gleaned from donations, waste collection days, and community partnerships as a way to both divert waste from landfills and educate members of the campus community about creative ways to repurpose items. Campus community members will be provided with workshops and tools for repurposing, and through this upcycling and recycling of materials, we aim to demonstrate an ecological understanding of, and deep gratitude for, the earth¡¯s finite resources.
The Purpose
- To divert otherwise unwanted materials from the landfill.
- To have a space where the Champlain Community can find items they need for free/swap (clothing, books, games, small housewares).
- To have a space to host up-cycling/craft workshops.
