Snowstorm ❄️ swap = SUCCESS

Despite the wild weather -
👕 We took in & saved 108 items from the landfill
🔁 Swapped out 44 items to new loving and stylish homes

Endless gratitude to our host (check out their upcoming workshops!), our volunteers, and everyone who braved the cold 🥶 for community + sustainability ♻️

01/30/2026

It all started as an idea in 2021 ♻️ Then we finally took action in 2023. Since then, Funk-it has saved hundreds of items from the landfill and built a community of amazing humans.

Swipe to see the impact of every Funk-it swap since the beginning - items saved, items swapped and the community that made it possible.

We’re just getting started! 🔁
