The Great Swap is a community exchange in Philadelphia where everyone wins! Bring your no-longer-needed but still-usable items and take home whatever you’d like.
You don’t need to donate to shop, and you don’t need to shop to donate — it’s all about sharing and reusing.
♻️ How It Works
Bring an empty bag (or two, or three!) and fill it up with whatever you’d like at The Great Swap!
You are encouraged to bring along your own gently used items to add to the swap — it’s a community exchange, and everyone’s contributions make it more fun and rewarding. (Please review the list of accepted items in What to Bring/Donate section.)
Past years’ finds have included bicycles, strollers, mixers, dresses, curtains, handbags, and more. Who knows what you’ll discover this year?
🚫 Please note: All swap items are intended for community and individual use only — not for resale.
Help spread the word!
