In Support of The San Francisco Birth Center Foundation

Join us for a community-wide Baby & Kids’ Items Swap Fundraiser in support of The San Francisco Birth Center Foundation. This event offers an opportunity to donate gently used baby and children’s items, refresh your child’s wardrobe and toys, and find new-to-you essentials for their next stage.

How It Works:

• Entry Fee: $20 per person (tickets available in advance and at the door; walk-ins welcome).
• Bring your gently used baby and children’s items. (not required to bring items)
• Browse a curated selection of pre-loved essentials and take home as many items as you need.

Your $20 ticket or day-of donation grants you unlimited bags of items to take home. Please bring your own bags.
