How to DonateTo help us set up thoughtfully, please drop off donations ahead of time (starting 4/20) rather than bringing them the day of the swap.
You can donate toys ahead of time in two ways:
Bin outside East Falls Presbyterian Church (by the entrance) @ 3800 Vaux Street, East Falls
At Rutabaga Toy Library during our open hours, listed here
We just ask that donations are:
✨ Clean
✨ In working condition
✨ With all important piecesBasically, if it’s something you’d be happy to find at a swap, it’s perfect.
Volunteer & Get Early AccessWe’d love some helping hands to make the swap magical.
- Friday: Sorting and setting up donated toys
- Saturday: Welcoming folks, keeping tables tidy, and supporting the flow of the eventAs a thank you, volunteers get early access to shop the swap before doors open."
