Giving Away/Acquiring Used Items

There is a pamphlet, called “echo,” which lists information for both people who want to give away items and people searching for used items.
The pamphlet, available at the ward office and at libraries, is updated and issued on the third Friday of every month.
Details on how to give or acquire are noted in the pamphlet.
