Winter & Holiday Decor Swap

Saturday, November 7 | 10-11 am

Refresh your holiday decorating without spending a dime! Bring in gently used winter and holiday decorations to swap with others in the community. Participants may bring up to one medium-sized box or tote of clean, gently used decor items.

Drop off your items between 10 and 10:30 am and browse the available selections. The swap will begin at 10:30 am. Participants are encouraged to take home decorations they will enjoy, and after 11:00 am any remaining items will be available to all. Leftover items will be donated.

Winter and holiday decor such as ornaments, wreaths, garlands, tabletop decorations, stockings, tree skirts, serving pieces, and other seasonal decorations are welcome. Please do not bring oversized, broken, dirty, or incomplete items.
