Take only what you know you that really can use. 6.	What if I don’t find anything that I want to take? We are allowing you to go through and “shop” again later in the day if you choose.

That is totally fine! We have been collecting items for donations so there will be a selection at the beginning, and we are also inviting a few families in need without requiring them to bring items.

Can I drop off my items early? Absolutely! We will begin accepting items early at 9am. You will need to wait or come back later for your time slot appointment to “shop”.10. Can I only shop at my appointment time or do I even need an appointment? It is definitely best to sign up for a time slot reservation if you want to swap. We will have a standby line for folks without an appointment or for anyone that wants to go through and browse again later, but there is no guarantee that you will be able participate if you are in the standby line. It will all depend on the flow of participants and social distancing covid protocols.11. What can I do with stained or ripped clothing and linens that are “unswappable”? There will be a textile recycling collection at this event so be sure to clean out your closet!
