Shifting Gears/Gifting Gear
S3G is FREE!
All are Welcome
All are Welcome
S3G's goal is to re-home sporting equipment to families that will enjoy it after your family has outgrown it.
How it works
If you have sporting gear -- in good/safe/working condition -- that your family/children have outgrown, please drop it off Thurday 12pm-6pm or Friday 9am-3pm
If your family is looking for some 'new' gear - come shop for FREE on Saturday 10am - 1pm
Donating gear does not guarantee that you will find replacement gear for your family on the 'shop' day.
You can 'shop' even if you have not donated any gear - this is not an exchange, participants are 'gifting' gear.
