Subject: Bring and Donate


Following EMF Camp having a Bring and Donate tent and that it was really popular and become quite a talking point afterwards with people sharing what they had found there, plus the money it helped raise…. I’d like to propose something similar for MCH.  In simple terms, donate your own hacker junk, if you find other people’s hacker junk you have a use for then donate an appropriate amount to charity and take it.

I’ve created a starter Wiki page based upon the EMF event: https://wiki.mch2022.org/Bring-and-donate

I’m happy to bring the paperwork etc to make it all happen and set it up.  However I am already at my car capacity so I’m unable to bring anything more such as tents or tables.  EMF used a 3m x 3m tent that was insufficient for the volume of items.  Therefore it will probably need something larger such as a 5m x 5m tent (or larger) with sufficient tables to go around the edges and some of the middle (depending upon size).  A sign would be good to indicate what the location is / its purpose.  There also needs to be a charity selected, EMF donated to the Red Cross I suspect in support of their work in Ukraine.  I don’t know if MCH has an affiliated charity that should be used, or how a different charity would be selected that might be more appropriate for Netherlands, or if we stick with the Red Cross.
