Hi There Juice Co. is hosting a food drive from Nov. 3-8. Drop off food and warm winter gear for adults, kids and pets at 1701 1/2 Broadway, Vancouver, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Dandelion Teahouse and Apothecary, 109 W. Seventh St., Vancouver, hosts Project Huddle from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on the second Friday of every month. Knitters and crocheters are invited to bring their projects to the teahouse to work on — or bring their unfinished projects and scraps for other people to use.
Unroll your extra wrapping paper, ribbons, and gift bags—let’s share the festive abundance!
Got half-used rolls of wrapping paper? A stash of gift bags too nice to toss? Bring your clean, reusable wrapping supplies and trade them for something new-to-you. Whether you’re a minimalist brown-paper-and-twine fan or a glitter-everything enthusiast, this swap is your chance to wrap sustainably (and save some cash during the spendiest season).
How it works: Bring gift wrap, tissue paper, ribbons, tags, or gift boxes (in good condition—no crumpled wads, please). Take what you need—no trade required! Swap tips on zero-waste wrapping (or just admire each other’s stash).
Why swap? Cut waste—keep paper and bags circulating instead of trashed. Save money—because gifts inside the wrapping matter more. Share the joy—community > consumerism, always.
No fees, no fuss—just guilt-free festive prep.
Have unfinished knit/crochet projects taking up space in your house? Bring them to work on during our project huddle! You can also drop off your unfinished projects (and yarn scraps) for someone else to use until the end of December!
East Woods Presbyterian Church will host a free Lunch with Our Neighbors from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the fourth Saturday of every month.
