MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – On Saturday, Jan. 23, from 2 to 5 p.m. there will be a swap meet for fire survivors, Lake County residents and time bank members sponsored by the Time Bank of Thrive Lake County.

The swap will be held at the Middletown Methodist Church at 15851 Armstrong St., near the Middletown Senior Center. 

Current and prospective time bank members will earn time bank hOurs by bringing new or gently used household items, movies, music, books and clothing to swap with each other. Fire survivors can just come with empty hands and will have first pick.

The nonprofit Tzu Chi Foundation of Santa Rosa will return to bring items requested at the wishing table during their event at the church and senior center on Dec. 9.
