We Outside: Holiday Re-Gift Exchange

The Holiday Re-Gift Exchange is our way of offering care and connection during a season that can feel heavy for many families. Instead of buying more, we gather what we already have. We bring the items our young people have outgrown or never opened and place them into a shared space where someone else can give them purpose.

Please bring one or two items for ages 2 to 18 that are clean, safe, and in good condition. Books, art supplies, puzzles, toys, small accessories, games, STEM kits, creative tools, and other youth-friendly items are all welcome. Nothing broken or heavily used. Think of something that would still feel meaningful to receive.

We will take our time setting everything out, browsing, and choosing something that fits the young people in our lives. No pressure or expectation. Just a simple, community-centered practice of sharing what we have so families can breathe a little easier.

There will be light refreshments, holiday jams, and space to connect.
This is a family-friendly gathering.

Come as you are and leave with something that will bring joy to someone you love. Any remaining gifts will be wrapped and shared with families at Bethany House.
