Baby Goods Exchange

Are you in need of toddler/baby gear? Come and visit the Baby Goods Exchange!

Bless Philadelphia invites you to come “shop” for baby and toddler clothing, toys and more at this FREE event! Leave with an item or two…or even a whole bag! You read that right: you won’t be charged…for anything!

This is also a great opportunity to drop off some of that gently used clothing that your own child has outgrown or that high chair or stroller that you don’t need anymore! Leave it here so that it can bless someone else!

Location: Oxford Circle Mennonite Church, 900 E. Howell St., Philadelphia, Pa 19149

Time: noon-4:00 p.m.

We’ll see you there!
