Baby Gear Swap

With a goal and commitment to supporting parents and caregivers in marginalized communities, Monsoon Asians and Pacific Islanders in Solidarity (Monsoon) is organizing a community Baby Gear Swap.

Monsoon’s Baby Gear Swap will focus on items intended for babies and toddlers, ages 0 to 5 years. All items are given and taken freely and not for sale. Participants do not need to bring anything to take home. This Baby Gear Swap is communal and open to all people who care for infants and young children.
