Welcome to peace. love. swap
The peace. love. swap mission is to keep gently used baby, kid, and maternity items out of our landfills, and to donate to local charities by producing fun, affordable, family friendly swaps on a regular basis.

p.l.s is a one of kind organization that produces and supports local kid's clothing & gear swaps. To get more info, locations or times on a specific swap , visit the Find an Event page. These events are becoming increasingly popular with local moms and dads. They get together, meet other local moms and dads, socialize in our family friendly venues, and recycle & swap their gently used items. When it's over, they know that the leftover items are going to different local charities & families in need. If you think you would like to start one in your area, please read this, and then email me to talk about how you or your mom's group can launch your own or take over an existing p.l.s event in your city.
How do the swaps work? Bring all your clean, freshly laundered, gently used items that you want to get rid of- as much or as little as you want (ages 0-14) & maternity (-it's not just a clothing swap, we take toys, movies, strollers, highchairs, bouncy seats etc..click here for what not to bring ) ~ and take what you need, there is plenty to go around, however since we do have our swaps regularly, we ask that you just take what you are going to use & bring it back when you are done. It's NOT a "swap meet" or a "consignment sale" where stuff is for sale, or even a once in a blue moon kid's clothing swap~ kids grow fast~ that's why these happen on a regular basis, in communities around you!
It's that simple - no tagging or pricing your stuff, no registration forms & it's not expensive to attend. Although hosting your own is great (and we'd love for you to share pictures of your home based swaps), p.l.s events are unique because so many moms attend & bring stuff... would you
want to host a "swap party" at your house that gets 50
=moms (and their kids?)
That's one of the things that makes us different~ p.l.s events are held in family
friendly venues, like gymnastics centers, where your kids can play while you swap & socialize. It's
also easier than swapping online, where you have to take
pictures of all your things and trade them for items of equal value or get
points or credits for your stuff & mail things... I have 4 kids and I have stuff I need, and stuff I want to get rid of almost every month. p.l.s is simple ~
created by moms for moms - what's not to
