Happy August! I have some marvelous news to share. DC Food Swap, Brooklyn Swappers, and The Portland Preservation Society are partnering together to facilitate an old-fashioned pen pal program, a way to meet your fellow food swappers through snail mail! Since there are so many incredible food swaps throughout the country, we wanted to band together to foster friendships across the miles in the way we love best – food swapping.

Participating is easy. Before August 10, fill out this form and we’ll match you with a swapper in another city. We’ll introduce you and your swapping pen pal via email, and you two can exchange addresses and make a swap!

Fine Print: Please only sign up for the swap if you currently live in or near Washington, D.C., Portland, or Brooklyn. Also please be a courteous swapper and only sign up if you can commit to shipping some goodies to your assigned partner. We’re not setting a swap deadline, but sending your treats within a month of being matched to a swapper would be ideal. Your privacy is important to us, and your name and email address will only be shared with the swapper with whom you’re matched up.
