In addition to clothing you can also bring lightly used children's accessories and toys: socks, shoes, and boots hats, scarves, and mittens sunglasses and swimsuits bibs and bottles books, tapes, and CD's videos, and DVDs small toys maternity clothes* *If you are or you know anyone who is going to have a baby but has nothing to swap, please encourage them to join us, we always have plenty of 0 to 24 month baby clothes and other baby items.
Items that do not get swapped will be donated to low income and high needs families in our pdx community.
Email pdxkidswap@gmail.com if you have any questions about the swap or are not already on our email list and would like to receive email notification of future children's clothing swaps send us an email with the size and gender of clothing you will bring and the size and gender of clothing you need (we will not spam or sell your name to anyone.) The only membership rule is that you be respectful and have fun! Please bring only things listed on what to bring list.
HOW IT WORKS: Clothes will be separated into three major size groups and marked with signs. Add the clothes you bring into the matching size piles. It is recommended that you separate your clothing by size before the swap to save time and be sure to arrive a little early. The swap will begin as soon as everyone has finished placing their clothes in the appropriate size piles and the swap coordinator starts the swap. When the swap begins look through the piles to find the items in the sizes you need and put them in your bag.
NOTE: Milagro's has a small area available for children to play and the swap area is child proofed.
DONATE: If you would like to donate children's clothing to the swap send an email to pdxkidswap@gmail.com and we'll arrange for a pick-up. Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone who would like to donate children's clothing.
I opine that to get the business loans from banks you must have a firm motivation. But, one time I have received a consolidation loan, because I wanted to buy a house.
