What our customers say

"The Stooping Club brings me great joy! Every time a new collection is launched, I flip through the pages with great excitement! You never know what you might find, but there are always so many treasures. So far, I've found two drinking glasses, a beautiful salad bowl, a great Oakland t-shirt, a pineapple shaped candy bowl, and a pair of cat glasses. Clearly, I'm a fan."

"Stooping club saved my life- or at least my wallet. The treasures I’ve found from scrolling through this incredible website have been delightful and I am a much happier person having access to the thrifty bounty Stooping offers. Whether it’s outfitting my future dorm room, finding thermals for camping, or anxiously locking down a Yamaha classical guitar, I am sad to graduate and leave the CPS community mostly because it means I won’t find such wonderful deals. Thank you stooping club!!"

"I love shopping at Stooping Club! I remember in China, when I was young, it was rare to see anyone throw away something that wasn't completely unusable; there was a real sense of valuing items. However, after coming to the United States, I discovered that due to cultural differences, it was rare to see people exchanging old items. When I heard about this website, I was thrilled. Finally, I found a place where I could donate old items and also find things I need, reducing unnecessary consumption, and saving both money and time. How could one not seize such an opportunity?!"

"I love Stooping Club because it is a great way to have access to a wide variety of free items in great condition. I've used Stooping Club to get birthday and Christmas gifts for my family members, who are always impressed by the quality of the item. Stooping Club has something for everyone– whenever I browse the catalog, I find things for myself, my parents, even my grandparents. And the best part is, it's all free, and I can easily pick it up at school!"
Ellie R.
"The Stooping Club is a fantastic service to our community. Club members take donation and find items that they photograph and list for community members to “order” so you get just what you are looking for. The site is beautiful, easy to use, professional in every way, and the service from William is even better. Thank you so much."

“I’ve gotten things for my sister, brother, mom, and for myself from the Stooping Club. The online store has grown so much since opening and has an amazing range of items that appeal to everyone in the family. It also has a super fast delivery rate (the next day in my experience)! Thanks Stooping Club!”

"In my first experience with the Stooping Club, I intended to purchase a lamp. When I ordered the lantern, William Chui, the founder, was very helpful and patient with me and guaranteed that I received what I ordered and prioritized my liking. He also informed me about the mission of the Stooping Club and how their donations went to California Against Waste and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and every donation contributed to both of these organizations. I thank William for introducing the Stooping Club to College Prep, prioritizing the student's purchases, and building the business to endorse these impactful foundations."
Michelle J.
"Stooping Club is an awesome resource in so many ways, and for so many people! As a service opportunity, a bond within our community, or an endless source of fun and unique items, it’s a true privilege that you won’t want to miss out on in your years here and beyond. Get involved, tell your friends and family to take a look, and let yourself be inspired by the hard work and creativity of founder William Chui. If you want to join the fight against planned obsolescence, take a scroll through the shop today!" - James C.

"I stumbled upon Stooping Club and so glad I did. As a consumer who understands the environmental impact our purchases have, I try at all costs to buy reuse and sustainable products. Our carbon footprint in the states one of the highest. It is refreshing to see young people promoting the use of reusing items specially in this throwaway society. The selection and quality of items are amazing. The staff is friendly and professional."

"Fast service and the items came exactly as they looked on the website."
Jacq S.
"Shopping at Stooping Club is great fun. Items appear that I need and then I find items to donate. The trading, sharing and reusing of items not only forms a collective effort to save resources, but, it also forges a community. Most of all, you start to realize how many "things" you have that you never use that may be just what another person really needs."
Vanessa I.
"Everyone needs Stooping Club. They helped me clear my crowded kitchen & gave me the exact things I needed for free."
Jay S.
"Stooping Club is a great source for finding things you didn't know you wanted. Decor, toys, clothes - their inventory is always fun to peruse and to shop."

Founder's Story

     One day, William was walking his dog when he stumbled on a pile of household items lying on the curb. Looking closer, it was a jumble of perfectly usable dishes, Legos, books, crystals, and more, all for free. It was such a waste to see these really nice, valuable street treasures left out and destined for the landfill. 

     Over the next two years, William devoted his free time to keeping useful items out of the landfill and learning web design from YouTube. In junior year, he founded Stooping Club to share his deep passion for community service, thrifting and sustainability with his school. On October 20, 2023, William took Stooping Club to a whole new level by launching our website, where customers can check out preloved items for free. What started off as a hobby and school club has grown into a multi-branch student-run initiative. Our mission is to engage youth around the world in sustainable entrepreneurship to fight consumerism and climate change. Spend less, save Earth™!
