*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 Spring 2025 Swap, we are collecting donations from February 17th to March 23rd. Email hyswap@gmail.com for drop-off locations.

​

​

*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.
