Who We Are
Our Mission
To transform society’s throwaway culture into one of reuse
About Us
Stooping Club is the world’s first and only student-run, FREE online chain store. We collect community donations and stoop curbside finds to benefit students, faculty, staff, and families. Our goal is to create a global, youth-run, freecommerce network as part of a broader circular economy. By diverting useful items from landfill to good homes, we help people save money and also conserve our planet’s natural resources. Stooping Club lives by the power of sustainable entrepreneurship to fight consumerism and thus climate change.
