SwapCircles

We’re starting a Forest Hill swap with the help from SwapCircles! This is a great way to share what you and your family have outgrown and a great way to replenish the closets. How does it work?

  1. Download the app for IOS or Android, then scan our QR code to join the FH swap circle.

  2. List your items that you would like to swap

  3. Wait for our community event or opt to meet in person.

From swapcircle:

SwapCircles is a hyperlocal, in-community recirculation program currently offered free of cost to participating school communities. The goal is simple:

Enable families to easily give forward outgrown items and discover what they need next — right within their own trusted communities. A Swap is not a donation — it’s a gift.

What is a SwapCircle?

A SwapCircle is a private, community-only sharing space where families (join by invite) can post, browse, and exchange gently used clothing, winter wear, costumes, sports gear, and accessories. Instead of letting perfectly good items sit in storage boxes, we help recirculate them locally to families who can use them next. It’s convenient, safe, and designed to make reuse natural and simple.

  1. Get your SwapCircles app here.

  2. Login and use the app to Scan your community QR code to join.

Watch how it works.

Why this recirculation program?

Families often have exactly what another one needs.
SwapCircles helps unlock that value in a structured, supportive way. It reduces clutter at home, saves a lot of money, and makes it easier for us to keep up with fast-growing kids and ever changing needs.

With SwapCircles we can run a series of zero-waste, family-friendly, socials throughout the year:

  • Seasonal Swaps (winter wear, ski gear, party wear)

  • Special Occassion Swaps (Halloween, Diwali, Chinese New Year, recitals etc.)

  • Themed Swaps (sports gear, baby gear)

Events are simple: bring what you can, take what you need.

Enabling everyday sharing

Sharing goes beyond an event. Families can use the SwapCircles app to keep the swap culture going all year-round. The app enables you to:

  • Post items you’re ready to pass along.

  • Browse the community inventory.

  • Claim what you like.

  • Connect and schedule the transfer.

Our SwapCircle is only as strong as the families who participate. Joining takes just a moment — and every item shared helps another family.
