How it works
Anyone can drop off accepted items before the Swap (Sat, 7–8:30 PM or Sun, 9–11:30 AM). Please review and follow the drop-off guidelines below. SOMA Families members can see the location on Meetup→
If you are not a member but would like to drop off accepted items, email swap@somafamilies.org
Volunteers will accept and sort items, and set up the Swap. Volunteers get to PRE-SWAP from 12:30-1:00 PM!
We need volunteers! See volunteer signup info on Meetup→
All SOMA Families members can “shop” the Swap on Sunday, 1-3 PM.
This is an exclusive members-only event—no guests or free trials will be allowed.
