“Buy Nothing: Give Freely. Share the bounty. Post anything you'd like to give away,
lend, or share among neighbors. Ask for anything you'd like to receive for free or borrow. Keep it legal. Keep it civil. No buying or selling, no trades or bartering, we're a gift economy. We'd love to have you join us! We have over 3,000 groups around the world; if you don't have one in your town, we'll help you start one; just ask us how - It's free and easy.

To apply for Lamorinda Families you must change your physical location/hometown to one of the Lamorinda communities prior to request. Once you are approved, this is what you can expect to find:
