Donate gently-used household goods that you no longer need/use in the days leading up to the event; then, attend The Great Exchange on April 26th and leave with new-to-you treasures! Continue reading below for more information on acceptable donations, guidelines, and more.

Looking for a way to give back to the community and our planet? Want first dibs on donations? Consider volunteering for this event. Many hands make light work!

Drop off donations between 5pm – 8pm on April 24th & 25th.
Please note that item donations will not be accepted on the day of the event.

Start your spring cleaning now, and plan ahead to drop off your items within our donation hours! Then, stroll the tables of available new-to-you goodies for FREE! If you do not have items to donate, you can bring non-perishable food or diaper donations on the day of the event for entry.

Plus, this year’s event has a sweet twist- We’re hosting a bake sale fundraiser, too! Help us make some extra dough by baking or buying treats! Sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/R4PAF
