As the Ledyard Children's Clothing Exchange continues to grow, we want to thank our amazing community for your generosity and support. Because of your donations and our dedicated volunteers, we're able to provide free children's clothing to families who need it.
To help us continue serving as many families as possible, we'd like to remind every one of the LCCE's guidelines. These policies help ensure that our resources are shared fairly and remain available for everyone.
🗓 Families may shop once per season.
Our shopping seasons are:
• Summer: April - July
• Fall: August- November
• Winter : December - March
👕 Each child may receive:
• 5 tops
• 5 bottoms
• Dresses count as either one top OR one bottom
• 1 pair of pajamas
• 1 pair of shoes
• Up to 5 pairs of socks and underwear (when available)
• 1 seasonal item (such as a winter coat or summer swimsuit)
📋 When you visit, please remember to:
• Bring a valid photo ID (This is required going forward).
• Bring a bag to carry your items home.
• Shop only for children who live in your household.
• Children are welcome to come with you, but please supervise them while you shop.
• You do not need to be a Ledyard resident to use the Ledyard Children's Clothing Exchange.
💙 Need clothing before the next shopping season?
We understand that life doesn't always fit into a schedule. If your family needs clothing before the next shopping season begins, please send us a message on our page or email [email protected] to schedule an appointment. We're happy to work with families experiencing an unexpected need.
👶 Want to donate?
We gratefully accept new and gently used children's clothing from premie through juniors small. Please make sure all donated items are clean and bagged before placing them in our donation bin. At this time, we are only able to accept children's clothing. Please do not donate adult clothing, as we do not have the space or resources to store or distribute it.
The Ledyard Children's Clothing Exchange exists because of the generosity and kindness of this community. By following these guidelines, you help us make sure every family has an opportunity to receive the clothing they need.
Thank you for helping us keep this program fair, welcoming, and available to all. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support! ❤️
