The Swapping Continues...

Many of Threeow's readers know about my lovely wife Emily's significant involvement in the national foodswapping movement. Along with great friend and insigator/conspirator Bethany R., she was instrumental in founding PDX swappers, one of the most influential and media covered swapping groups in the nation. Their story has been filmed by Cooking Up a Story, covered by HuffPo, mentioned by the NY Times, and has been significant in inspiring and equipping similar events and community organizing nationwide.

If you're coming late to the party, food-swapping is a currency free exchange of homecrafted food, beverages, goods and services. 



Now, laist.com is highlighting a website founded by LA Swappers that helps organizers get and stay connected for food swapping events in their communities. Read the full piece here.

I'm so excited to see the Swapping movement springing up around the country. I hope that people continue to find easy long term ways to forge community connections.

After all, it's really about contributing to the tables of our neighbors in creative and sustainable ways.
