With a goal and commitment to supporting parents and caregivers in marginalized communities, Monsoon Asians and Pacific Islanders in Solidarity (Monsoon) is organizing its 3rd Annual Baby Gear Swap. This mutual aid community event allows participants to freely give and take baby items, specifically for babies and toddlers ages 0 to 5 years. Participants do not need to bring anything to take items home. This Baby Gear Swap is communal and open to all who care for infants and young children.
