SWAP

Washington University in St. Louis • Sustainable Nonprofit

Sharing With A Purpose (SWAP) is a student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving items a second life.

We collect, store, and redistribute donated goods from the WashU community to keep them out of landfills while providing free resources for students and the wider St. Louis community.
