Aww, I clearly haven’t been paying attention, because I just read about this in the Seattle Times this morning, so I missed it. Hopefully next year.
What a wonderful idea!

Wish I had seen this sooner, what a lovely idea! Any room for late stragglers?

The swap is closed for this year but you can add your email to the signup sheet (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFuPc9fiff5662llOtYc40LW3EClgrs4Mpsp2Vbgv6gqElOw/viewform?c=0&w=1) to get word when it starts up next year!

So sorry I missed this, will not make the same mistake next year! In the meantime, my sister and I send each other "sister treats" throughout the year. We 're sandwiched among four brothers, live 800 miles away from each other and find this a great way to stay connected

Hi Valerie, Yes I sent out your match Friday from [email protected] - maybe it got bounced to your spam folder? Would you mind emailing me there so I can respond to that email with your match? Thanks!

Yes and I emailed back yesterday. Check your spam filter and I'll send it from another email address. Let me know if you don't get it in the next little bit.

Hi Noelle, hoping to receive my swapee's information soon so I can take advantage of this weekend to do some treat-hunting. I know you must be very busy but please send when you can :)

Hi! Sorry for the delay!! It took a bit to confirm donations. For everyone who has donated and has complete signup forms, you should get a match by tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for your patience :)

I was having technical difficulties with my donation, but got it completed - am I too late?

Hi there!
I signed up for the swap this year and am super excited (already narrowing down what to include in my basket :)) but for some reason my credit card wouldn't go through on Edible Schoolyard. I've tried several different cards, including one with a US address (I'm from Canada). Someone from Edible Schoolyard noticed the issue and got in contact with me - I've asked if I could pay through PayPal. In the meantime, I'm just hoping I won't lose my spot because of this? I've never had a problem with US payments in the past!
Thanks for your time,
Tatiana

Hi there,
I'm having difficulty signing up as well. The donation website won't let me choose my country/province! Any other Canadians having problems? Would love to be a part of this event. Thank you so much for organizing this!

Hello! I was finally able to properly sign up and have my donation go through. I tried on a different computer and that managed to solve the issue. Thank you for checking in!

Just an FYI--For some reason, the link in the article was broken. I made a $5 contribution in my name, but I couldn't name Food52!

Thanks for letting us know! We'll get on that. For anyone else, this is the correct link: https://edibleschoolyard.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=16
Cristina, I'll make a note of this for your signup. Good to have you back :)

Hi there - I've signed up and am trying to do the contribution, but it won't accept it - I've tried three different credit cards - all come back with the same error -2: 27 The transaction has been declined because of an AVS mismatch. The address provided does not match billing address of cardholder. Not sure why this is happening, as the details I have input are correct. I'm wondering if it's because I'm located in Australia. Is it possible to do a donation via Paypal?

Jharna,
I'm sorry to hear. Thanks for letting us know. You're the second person from Australia who is having problems with this. I would suggest contacting Edible Schoolyard Project directly- since we are not directly associated with the organization- and they should be able to help. I'm also contacting them on my end. Let us know if you continue to have problems!

I got in touch with the organisation and they changed a website setting, but it still didn't work. I've just sent them my card details so that they can process my donation manually - hopefully that will be done overnight.

All sorted! Emilie at Edible Schoolyard Project confirmed she processed my donation. YAY! I am also irrationally excited for this, woo hoo!
