Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide a welcoming space where the Orlando community can divert post consumer goods from the trash through reuse.
What it reported doing in 2025
Organized six swap events where people could exchange clothing, arts and craft supplies, home goods, etc for free with an average attendance of 270 people. Leftover goods at the end of the swap events were diverted from the landfill to various non-profit organizations based on need.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
