Welcome to peace. love. swap.
What is peace. love. swap.?
The peace. love. swap. mission is to keep gently used baby, kid, and maternity items out of our landfills, and to donate to local charities by hosting fun, affordable, family friendly swaps where moms and dads can exchange their unwanted and/or outgrown items with other local parents.
p.l.s. is a nonprofit organization that produces and supports local kid's swaps in Northern California (and growing fast). To find out when and where our swaps are, visit the Find an Event page. These events are becoming increasingly popular with local moms and dads. They get together, meet other local moms and dads, and recycle & swap their gently used items. When it's over, they know that the leftover items are going to different local charities (contact me if you would like for us to donate to your organization). If you think you would like to start one in your area, please look over the website, email me and we can talk about what I can do to help you or your organization make it happen.
How do the swaps work? Bring all your gently used items that you want to get rid of- as much or as little as you want (ages 0-14) & maternity (-it's not just a kid's clothing swap, we take toys, movies, strollers, highchairs, bouncy seats etc..click here for what not to bring ) ~ and take what you want~ as much or as little as you want. It's NOT a "swap meet" or a "consignment sale" where stuff is for sale, or even a once in a blue moon kid's clothing swap~ kids grow fast~ that's why these happen on a regular basis, in communities around you!
It's that simple - no tagging or pricing your stuff, no registration forms & it's not expensive to attend. It's better than throwing your own because so many moms attend - It's like going to a consignment store or sale & being able to take things for free!! Families exchanging with other families & helping those in need & the environment along the way- - what's not to love?
peace. love. swap. ~ everyone is welcome, just come in and enjoy!
