It’s Saturday, and from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. it’s market time at Amenie Hopkins’ house. Neighbors like Barbara, Caitlin, Emily and Steve are showing up with things they no longer want.
“We went through some of our toys that we no longer use," says Barbara, "and then we have clothes that don’t fit us anymore and some shoes."
"We don’t need them,” her daughter adds.
Others, like Josi Clark – who was laid off for two months this year – are taking things they can definitely use and paying nothing.
