We are excited to be hosting our first ever Kids Swap! We welcome anyone from our Good Shepherd community to donate and participate and shop in the swap. Donations are not required to participate!
Items to be donated:
Kids clothes
Kids shoes
Kids outerwear
Maternity clothes/items
Baby gear
Toys
Items must be in good condition. Clothes may be worn, but must have at least one more season of use in them. Toys must have all pieces and components present, and please only donate toys that are in good, working condition. Essentially, only donate items that you would want to accept for your own children.
Drop off: Please have all loose pieces from toys bagged together and labeled. If possible, please have clothes sorted by size and gender.
Volunteer Needs: If you would like to help volunteer with accepting donations and sorting/organizing items, we are in need of volunteers for the following times:
November 7th - November 8th from 2-3:30 PM: Helping sort and organize donations
November 9th at 7:45 AM: Help with setting up before the Swap begins
November 9th during the Swap: Help directing participants
November 9th after the Swap: Help with clean up
This event is part of our participation in Churches of Restoration, an A Rocha initiative geared toward equipping churches to participate in creation care. Our goal is to recycle items that our congregation has in abundance and reduce waste in our community. We're hoping to have this event twice a year, so please only take what you need for the next 6-12 months.
Any items that are not swapped will be donated to local organizations. If you know of an organization that would benefit from these items, please let Katie Posten know!
