Windward Community College presents the Aloha Giveaway
Give/Receive; Everything is Free!
November 15, December 20, January 17 (Happy New Year)
Participate in a Gifting Economy!
Neighbors with their ‘ohana come to freely give and gift, take and receive, browse, socialize, build community and express gratitude! No buying, selling, trading, or bartering.
Similar to a Trunk-or-Treat, gifters pack their vehicles with items and offer them free from their trunks. Receivers visit the vehicles and take away what they want. You might find clothes, appliances, furniture, toys, books, decor, and craft supplies; the possibilities are endless!
He ali‘i ka ‘āina, he kauwā ke kanaka.
Caring for Hawai‘i and the planet.
Open to students, staff, faculty and their families, as well as community members.
Gifters set up under the solar arrays. Receivers simply show up and park in uncovered stalls near Hale A‘o.
GIFTERS:
- To participate you just need to show up; no need to reserve a spot. Parking is on a first come, first serve basis in the front parking lot by the bus shelter.
- I advise arriving no later than 930am to get a good spot and set up, since the “cheehoo” starts promptly at 10am.
- Most people bring a tarp or tables to put their giveaway things on; just be sure to mark them as not for gifting.
- Every adult must sign a WCC consent/waiver form which will be available on site. (Thereʻs a new form each time.)
- All parking spots under the solar arrays are for the gifting area and gifters to set up
RECEIVERS:
- Simply show up and browse.
- Everyone be courteous and kind.
- No touching or “claiming” before our 10am start time.
If you have questions about being a Gifter, please contact Trish Brubaker at least 2 days before the event at pyb@hawaii.edu.
Bonus: you can be a gifter AND a receiver!
