*What is HY-SWAP?*
It is a FREE Community Exchange of Infant, Children’s and Maternity Clothing, Gear and Toys, presented by a group of local parents and families in the spring and fall.
​
*Where do I go?*
Hyattsville Municipal Building (4310 Gallatin Street), First Floor
Multi-purpose Room, and check out our large tent outside for bigger kid items, toys and more. Plan to park in the lot at the building (except for the spots marked Reserved for Hyattsville Police), or in the lot across Gallatin to the south (Lot 4), or in the lot by Franklins across Route 1 (Lot 1). Here's a handy parking map: http://www.hyattsville.org/DocumentCenter/View/3569
​
**We ask that you leave strollers and other large items outside in our "Stroller Parking Lot" so there is room to move around inside. There is NOT room to bring strollers into the event space.**
*How is this HY-Swap different from previous swaps?*
For the Fall 2024 Swap, we will again be hosting a one-day event. The HY-Swap event will then be held on Sunday, October 20th. Pre-sorted donations will be collected ONLY Friday, October 18, from 5-7pm and Saturday, October 19, from 9-11:30am.
​
*Can I donate items like car seats, bouncers, etc?*
Yes but no large items (highchairs, cribs, mattresses, etc) for this HY-Swap. We are asking folks to only donate small-medium items.You can donate lots of bags and small boxes of items but no larger items please. Please bring your medium size items (carseats, bouncers, etc.) to the Swap on October 20th from 9-10am to drop the items off.
​
*Can I donate items? Where do I go? *
We will be accepting pre-sorted items ONLY Friday, October 18, from 5-7pm and Saturday, October 19, from 9-11:30am.
We do ask that you pre-sort your items and note that we will not be accepting any large items (high chairs, cribs, mattresses, etc).
​
*Can I drive up and drop off donations?*
We will be accepting pre-sorted donations from ONLY Friday, October 18, from 5-7pm and Saturday, October 19, from 9-11:30am.
NO donations will be accepted at the HY-Swap event.​
​
*Do I have to GIVE in order to TAKE? *
Nope! The spirit of the HY-Swap is to support the community and pay it forward - take what you need now, and if you have items to give at future swaps, great! Donations are from the local community, for the local community.
​
*Is it free? *
Yes, the swap is free, but we welcome cash donations to help cover our costs. We suggest a $15 donation per family.
​
*What time is the Fall 2024 HY-Swap?*
12:00-1:00pm
2:00-3:00pm
​
*Is there a limit on how much I can take?*
Because we never know the volume of donations we'll receive, we are asking everyone to take up to two reusable grocery-sized bags of items. You are more than welcome to come back at the end of the Swap and take as much as you'd like at that time but we want to ensure that as many folks as possible have access to the donations.
