Hey, Neighbors and Parents!

We’re excited to announce a **Kids Clothing, Book, and Toy Swap** happening right here at ILS Ballard!

Bring your gently used* kids’ clothes, toys, and books and swap them out for some “new-to-you” goodies! It’s a fantastic way to refresh your little ones’ wardrobes and playrooms while keeping things sustainable and fun.

**🗓 Date: Saturday, September 27
**🕒 Time: 11am – 2pm
**📍 Location: ILS Ballard [5501 8th Ave NW]

**🎃 SPECIAL HALLOWEEN CORNER!**
With Halloween around the corner, we’ll have a dedicated area just for **costume swaps**! 👻🎩✨ Let’s help each other find that perfect costume without breaking the bank!

**What to bring:**
– Gently used* kids’ clothing (18mon – Age 6)
– Toys that your kids have outgrown
– Books ready for a new home
– Halloween costumes to swap or donate! 🎃👗🦸‍♀️

What does “gently used mean”? Clothing without holes or major stains, toys and puzzles with all of the pieces and working parts. 

**How it works:**
1. Bring your items to the swap event.
2. Browse through the selection and take what you need!
3. Anything left over will be donated to a local family charity.

Let’s come together as a community, share, and support each other. We look forward to seeing you and your kiddos there! 🥰

Feel free to reach out with any questions. See you soon!
