When you first had your baby, you probably bought all of the ‘must-have’ items: highchairs, walkers, strollers, cute outfits, and more! And now that the kids are growing up, these things are simply collecting dust in storage.
If you’re looking for a place to donate baby items, here is a list of where to go in Fargo-Moorhead!
