Striving for Sustainability partnered with the Rowley Public Library to host a Toy Swap on Saturday, March 29, 2025. The event gave families the opportunity to donate, swap, or take gently used toys. Swap items included baby toys, toy trucks, puzzles, games, art supplies, and more! It was great to see toys finding new homes instead of people buying new.
Striving for Sustainability hosted a Kids Upcycled Holiday Shop at the Rowley Public Library in December of 2024 and 2025.
