WELCOME TO THE KIDS' EXCHANGE!

The Kids’ Exchange twice-yearly nonprofit children’s consignment sale is the smart way to buy high-quality, like-new and gently-used children’s items in the Adirondacks while benefiting our local community. Busy families can stock up on all their children’s needs at bargain prices at our one-day, one-stop shopping extravaganzas.

You won’t find garage sale quality with us--we feature only the best items that you would be proud to sell and happy to purchase. Our talented team of volunteers dedicates countless hours to make sure you get the best possible selection of name-brand items in the most organized shopping environment. We offer thousands of items including toys; clothing size newborn to 10; maternity clothing; baby gear and furniture; sports equipment; room décor; arts & crafts; bikes, trikes and ride-ons; playhouses and junglegyms; DVDs and gaming and lots more.

For more information on how we improve community life, click on our ABOUT US (above) and COMMUNITY (to the right) menu bars.

* DONORS Don't throw away your perfectly good items--someone else in our community really needs them! We accept donations! Contact us and we will pick up your items from you and put them in the sale or distribute them to North Country Ministry. Sale proceeds benefit causes throughout our region, and your items will stay local to help Adirondack families! You may also drop off items at the Dome during the two days prior to the sale.

* SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES NOW AVAILABLE. Help sponsor our sale and let your message reach the thousands of parents, kids and families that participate in our events. We'll put your information in each customer's bag at checkout. For more information, contact us at: info@exchange-foundation.org.

*TAGGING SERVICE Too busy to prepare your items for the sale? We'll do it for you in our Tagging Service! Send us an email telling us you'd like to sign up. Don't wait- service is limited and all items must be dropped off for pricing & tagging by Saturday, April 21.

HOW THE SALE WORKS:

CONSIGNORS: Prepare your items according to the rules and drop them off at the Dome. You do not need to be at the sale—we do all the work. You keep 70% of your sale proceeds and the remainder goes to support worthy causes. Unsold items can be donated to charity. Recycle your idle items! Someone out there is looking for the very items you no longer need. IMPORTANT: please read all consignor instructions and sale rules carefully especially "How to Consign," "What You Can and Cannot Sell," and "Preparing Items." (See links to the right.)

VOLUNTEERS: Anyone may be part of our dynamic event! If you sign up for a 2-hour shift organizing or working at our sale, you will receive a pass to shop the presale beginning at 8 a.m. Explore our volunteer opportunities and times on our website.
