SIMPLE RULES:
• ONLY clean, gently used, working and useable items please.
• NO need to bring things to take things.
• NO baby gear, cribs, furniture, household items, mattresses, TVs, and over-sized items.
* ​Please SEPARATE your donations in advance so that it will be easy to place them on the correct tables:

• Out of consideration for others, we may limit folks to 1 bag or the number of bags that you've brought to donate to the swap.
• We do not allow taking donated items to resell. Why? Because all remaining items are donated to other non-profits to help neighbors truly in need.

Suggested donation: $10 a family to help cover costs and support local Scouts units. Town Square is a qualified 501(c)(3) not‐for‐profit institution. Your donation will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE to the full extent of the law. For more info, please contact Town Square at 347.559.1410 or [email protected].
