HY-Swap is a free exchange of infant, children’s and maternity clothing, gear and toys, presented by a group of local parents in the spring and fall. The items donated are from the local community, for the local community. While the swap is based in Hyattsville, it is open to all!
We are dedicated to sharing and circulating items in good condition within the community, providing savings for local families, reducing waste, and building connections amongst community members. In the Spring we collect and sort items over the course of the month and a half leading up to the swap. This allows us to collect more and larger items, as well as host sorting soirees for volunteers to get to know one another and help us prepare for the swap. In the Fall we host a pop-up style swap, meaning we do everything in one weekend! Donations are collect and sorted on Friday and Saturday, and the swap occurs on Sunday. This allows us to still hold the swap while not taking as much prep time during the busy start of the school year.
HY-Swap runs on people power—and we’d love for you to get more involved! If you enjoyed the event and want to help us grow, consider signing up to volunteer. Whether it’s helping with sorting, setup, outreach, or day-of support, there’s a place for everyone.
