โPRE-EVENT DROP-OFF
โ๐ Vivvi UWS
[Sep 8-18] | [10-12pm]
โEarly drop-off helps us organize everything by size and category ahead of time so the swap feels curated, beautiful and easy to shop.
โCan't drop off early? You can bring your items the morning of the event. We just ask that clothing arrive pre-sorted by size.
โWHAT WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING
โAdult clothing
โStrollers or car seats
โUsed plush toys
โStained or damaged items
โBroken toys or items with missing pieces
โOur rule of thumb: If you wouldn't be excited to bring it home for your own child, please don't bring it to the swap.
โWHAT HAPPENS TO LEFTOVER ITEMS?
โSelect pieces may continue on to our next Little Swaps event so another family can discover them.
โRemaining items will be placed in our Pass-It-Forward donation collection and donated to support local families.
