JACKSON, Wyo. — Families can peruse gently used maternity, infant, toddler and child clothing at the Infant Clothing and Gear Swap on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Jackson Elementary School (JES)..
The swap, which is hosted by It Takes A Valley and Teton County Health Department, offers a free gathering to Teton area families as they navigate pregnancy, start a new family and search for connection. It Takes a Valley began as a support system to mothers dealing with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) and has grown into a community-wide organization.
Join the main event on Saturday to find maternity, infant and child items to take home for the family. Donate gently used maternity, infant, and child items on Friday, Oct. 18, from 4 to 7 pm, at JES.
