As holiday shopping draws near,
We wanted to send out a message that’s clear:
Our Swap & Share Space isn’t only for giving—
It’s also for taking to support how we’re living!

If crowds and long lines aren’t part of your plan,
Try our campus alternative—your own ʻohana “thrift” stand.
We’ve got sweaters and boots to keep you warm in the breeze,
And cute keiki outfits that are sure to please.

So wander on by, take a book, take a treat—
Everything’s free, everything’s sweet.
The more that we use it, the better it grows,
Circulating good things as our community flows.

Mahalo for keeping our campus caring and fair—
And happy holidays from our Swap & Share!
