Early Childhood Clothing & Toy Swap
As the seasons change and our children continue to grow, we understand how fast they outgrow their clothes and toys. It's that time of the year when we want to make room for new treasures while giving pre-loved items a chance to bring joy to other kids!
We're excited to invite you to our Kid's Toys and Clothing Exchange, a delightful gathering where parents and caregivers can come together to share, swap, and refresh their children's wardrobe and toy collection. It's a wonderful opportunity to not only declutter your home but also connect with fellow parents in our community. We are accepting donations now at Mercy Hill - bring them in anytime!
Let's make this a sustainable and community-building event for families in our neighborhood. We look forward to seeing you at the Kid's Toys and Clothing Exchange and sharing the joy of recycling our kids' beloved items!
