How The Toy Swap Works
Donate (optional, but awesome).
Drop off toys and goodies the week before the event at EFPC or Rutabaga Toy Library to get $5 off your bag.Show up on Saturday.
Check in at the door, grab your ticket, and get to “shopping” the swap.Fill your bag.
Browse toys, books, games, decor, and stocking stuffers for all ages and fill your bag to the brim.Feel good.
You’re keeping great stuff in circulation, skipping new manufacturing and extra waste, and supporting Rutabaga’s Scholarship Fund.
How to Donate
To help us set up thoughtfully, please drop off donations ahead of time (starting 4/18) rather than bringing them the day of the swap.
You can donate toys ahead of time in two ways:
Bin outside East Falls Presbyterian Church (by the entrance) @ 3800 Vaux Street, East Falls
At Rutabaga Toy Library during our open hours, listed here
We just ask that donations are:
✨ Clean
✨ In working condition
✨ With all important pieces
Basically, if it’s something you’d be happy to find at a swap, it’s perfect. For example:
Toys for ages 0–10
Books and puzzles
Games and STEM sets
Volunteer & Get Early Access
We’d love some helping hands to make the swap magical.
Friday: Sorting and setting up donated toys
Saturday: Welcoming folks, keeping tables tidy, and supporting the flow of the event
As a thank you, volunteers get early access to shop the swap before doors open.
