"Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul (TN) - Buy Nothing Group" on Facebook
-
Parishioner Katie Bird has organized a Facebook group called " Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul (TN) - Buy Nothing Group."
Basilica parishioners are encouraged to join and post items or services that they are offering to give away or looking to receive for free. The hope is to provide a convenient channel for practicing charity and solidarity within the Basilica community.
Here is a direct link to the group:

Thanks to Katie Bird for her initiative in bringing our parish community together in this practical way!
Buy-Nothing Drop-Off at the Basilica
There is now a designated "Buy Nothing" drop-off location at the Basilica to help facilitate the transfer of Buy-Nothing Group items. This area is located in Varallo Parish Hall, at the far northwest corner at the top of the steps.
Buy-Nothing Weekend Bin Rules:
1. Giver: Attach a note to the item stating a) the date it was dropped off, and b) the receiver’s name and phone number. Notify the recipient to pick up the item.
2. Receiver: Pick up the item as soon as possible, within 1 week.
3. A volunteer from the buy-nothing ministry will check the bin each Monday for items. (Note that the Basilica front door is open daily until 5:30pm.) Items left for longer than a week will be donated.
Reminder: You do not have to use the Basilica's Buy Nothing drop-off location to transfer your items that you give away through the Buy Nothing Group. If it doesn't work for your schedule or you are transferring a large item, please make your own arrangements to transfer your item without bringing it to the Basilica.
If you are someone who is regularly at or close to the Basilica on Mondays, please let Katie Bird know if you’d be willing to check the bin for leftover items while you’re there. Thanks!
