Children's Clothing Exchange participating members trade their child’s outgrown clothing, books, toys, and gear for age-appropriate items. If you do not have children’s items to trade, you can volunteer your time to earn credits that you can use to receive items for your child.
In order to receive items for your child, you must first visit the Children's Clothing Exchange and register to participate in the program. The registration process takes about ten minutes. During registration, you will be asked to provide:
