Kids grow fast. Their clothes somehow get small even faster. 😅

Come give those outgrown clothes a new home — and find some new-to-you favorites — at the **Back-to-School Kids Clothing Swap**, hosted by the **Valley Women’s Club** during September First Friday!

Bring your gently used kids’ clothing to swap, then browse what other local families have brought. It’s an easy (and FREE!) way to clear out the too-small pile and refresh the kids’ closets for the new school year. 💛
