Gulfport Goes Green takes a vacation until November!

See you then!

• Book Swap hosted by Small Adventures Book Shop
• Computer Recycling at The Gulfport Technology Center
• Battery Recycling at The Outpost
• Clothing Swap by LocalShops1 to benefit the Salvation Army Woman’s Shelter (thanks to BoTiki for the space)
• Florida Blood Services was on hand accepting blood donations

Brief morning showers again greeted vendors and performers as they were setting up but quickly faded to a sporadically overcast day.   Several older computers and bags of batteries were turned over for recycling.  The clothing swap began with a generous donation of from Spinderella Steele. (Thanks Jenn) Lots of good clothing for people to browse.  The book swap was a success as many walked away with new reading material.

All these events will return bigger and better next month! Stay tuned as Gulfport Goes Green Grows bigger and better

Bring all your unwanted, unused, or lovingly used art supplies and get ready to explore another medium.

The clothing swap working on the BOGO principle Bring One, Get One.  Come prepared to find the new interesting styles hidden in someone else’s closet.

The remainder at the end of the day are donated to the Salvation Army.   If you have items of clothing you want to go directly to the Salvation Army please let us know when you arrive so we can set them aside.

Jan, the owner, will be there to help you find something you might like.

A good time to clean out the old bookshelf and ;ick up some new summer reading material!

So bring you dead and dying

• AAA
• AA
• C
• D
• 9 volt
• hearing aid
• button batteries

So bring down that older dusty system you no longer need.  That monitor you accidentially dropped or that bag of parts you’ve collected and have no idea what to do with.

They accept:

• computers
• monitors
• laptops
• and more!

There is no substitute for blood. It has to come from one person in order to give to another. A critical number of voluntary donations are required every day to meet the need for blood in the Tampa Bay area. However, we are consistently falling short, and falling short means we may not have enough blood for someone like you. This is where Florida Blood Services comes in.
