Join the Twoshirts "Back to School Swap!"

a twoshirts.org submission by:

It’s back-to-school time and we thought it would be fun to sponsor a Twoshirts “Back to School Swap” of kids clothes and school supplies. We think there are lots of folks who have extra clothes, shoes, pencils, pens, notepads, backpacks, and all the things kids need to be equipped for school - and we know there are plenty of folks who could use a break these days. That’s where the swap comes in!

Take what you need, give what you don’t. If you have extra kids stuff - or the money to buy extra - post it here on Twoshirts.org. If you need stuff for your kids or grandkids, claim it. Simple!

Bundle similar items together. you could bundle items together like two pairs of pants, two shirts, and a pair of shoes for a girl (or boy) that wears a certain size. That way, people can easily shop for the right stuff for their son or daughter.

Be sure to post good descriptions. It’s also a really good idea to take a picture of all the items laid out - especially clothes. People are more likely to claim what they can see. Finally, we think it would be helpful to post your giveaway stuff in “lots” according to gender and size.

Spread the word! Get your friends, neighbors, and co-workers involved. Hand out flyers on your street or at your church. We’ve even posted two versions of the flyer below (one in black and white and one in color). Feel free to print, copy, and hand them out like crazy. The more people we get involved, the more we all benefit!
