Swap Shop - Items Up for Grabs!!! | |
|
What is the Swap Shop all about?
The Swap Shop is a way for parishes to share resources with each other. Sometimes parishes stop using textbooks or other resources before they've outlived their shelf life. These items are often still in good condition so the parish doesn't want to just throw them away but at the same time they don't know what to do with them. And sometime parishes are using old/out dated materials because they simply cannot afford to replace them. Having come across both situations multiple times, I realized there had to be a way to get items people were no longer using to the people who really needed/wanted them. Thus the Swap Shop was born. It's been successfully rehoming materials for the last 4 years.

Curriculum & Materials Up for Grabs
| | |
|
I've got an office full of resources that need new homes! All items are first come, first serve. It's an ever changing inventory, but there are a few things that have been here a bit longer than expected and therefore are marked as "last chance." You have until October 1st to claim "last chance" items, and then they will be removed.
I know budgets are almost always tight, so if there's something on this list that you want/need feel free to claim it...via Google Form. Don't let your distance from the Chancery stop you from claiming something. We've gotten things all the way out to Flush (western edge of the Archdiocese) and as far south as Opie, so if there's something you want we'll figure out a way to get it to you!!

Rules for the Swap Shop:
-
Textbooks - MUST be current! Any textbooks published before the New Roman Missal was released in 2011 should be recycled and not offered to another parish. Not sure if it's current, find the prayer section and look at the words of the Nicene Creed...is the word "consubstantial" there? If 'yes' then book is current. If it's not there, then the book is outdated and should be recycled.
- Items must be in usable condition. Items do not have to be brand new, but should not be ready for the trashcan either.
- Items are typically free - On occasion a parish may need to sell big ticket items in order to fund something else, but they would be at a significantly discounted rate.
- Items should not be expected to be returned except in extenuating circumstances.
- If you take something for a one-time use, you should consider offering it to another parish when you are finished...VBS decorations are a great example.
- If you have something you are in need of, let me know and we can put out a "wanted" ad.
- Items are given out on a first come, first serve basis...reward for reading the emails!
