Old Things. New Stories.
A Drop • Swap • Shop Community Event
Spring is on the horizon, and with it comes the urge to clear closets, make space, and pass things along with love. 💛 Old Things. New Stories. is a community-powered closet refresh where gently used—and even never-worn—items get a beautiful second chapter.
Many of us have bins full of kids’ clothes that were barely worn, toys that were well-loved but outgrown, maternity pieces that served their purpose, and postpartum items that never made it out of the package. This event is your chance to give those items a new home—and find something new for your own family, too.
What to Donate (Drop off throughout February):
👚New or lightly used children’s clothes and shoes (newborn–6T),
🧸children’s toys,
📚board books (hard pages),
🤰lightly worn maternity clothing, and
🍼unused postpartum goods
Please note: We are not accepting teen or adult (non-maternity) clothing or shoes, or household and kitchen items. Any items not selected will be donated.
Shop Day:
Friday, 2/28 — Browse and “shop” the collection for free or low-cost, new-to-you finds. A $5 entry fee includes a large bag to fill with goods, plus local coupons and special freebies from small, local businesses.
This event is about more than stuff—it’s about community, sustainability, and the stories woven into the things we pass along. That dress that never got worn becomes someone else’s favorite outfit. Those barely used shoes? A new adventure waiting to happen.
♻️ Why we love it:
