Gift of Giving Toy Exchange




Winter is here and the holidays are around the corner,
with today’s challenges, winter clothing and toys can be expensive, this year the 4-H Jaguars of Claremont is sponsoring a different way to exchange gifts and clothing.

As our community grows, so do our children, the clothing drive is a way to bring in your gently used clothing, shoes and coats for adults and children and swap them for gently used new ones. If you are like most parents, you probably have a whole pile (or two) of toys at home that your child doesn’t play with or doesn't even look at anymore. The toy exchange is a great way to get rid of some of those unused toys while picking up some "new" ones that your child might enjoy at no cost. Everyone wins. Your child gets some new playthings while you get some extra space in your house.

This event is FREE. There is no obligation to bring clothing or toys to take one.

Bring your gently used toys and Clothing to our exchange on the day of the event, or you may drop of your donations at the following schools, Maple Ave; Disnard and Bluff; . Mon Dec 13th. - Thursday Dec 16th.

We will also be taking donations at Trinity Church Claremont, Thursday Dec 16th from 6:00-7:30pm and Friday Dec 17th on the day of the event.

How to find new treasures to take home: 1) you can either bring in gently used toys, books and games or swap them for others. 2) Just show up and take home a new treasure or clothing. 3) If you bring items to swap and don't see anything you like, please leave your items and they can benefit the families.

Who benefits? You, other families in our community, the environment. Donations that are needed include: Adult and Children’s clothing, winter boots, shoes and coats.

Toys (please keep all accompanying pieces together in a zip-loc bag); books; movies; stuffed animals, cars and trucks, dolls and dollhouses, building toys, games and puzzles, arts and crafts, baby toys, video games and DVDs. computer software
