🌍 Taking a look back at our most recent swap — and what a good one it was! A huge thank you to for having us at the Earth Month Launch Party. We celebrated 2026 Earth Month alongside some incredible sustainable businesses and the energy was unmatched!

♻️ 17 swappers brought in 136 items, 54 of which found brand new closets to call home — and the rest? Donated to non-profits doing amazing work. Stay tuned for a look at who they went to!

Snowstorm ❄️ swap = SUCCESS

Despite the wild weather -

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

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! 🔁
