Safety Guidelines

The safety of every child and family we serve is our top priority.

Item Safety

Every item is reviewed for damage, recalls, and general safety before it is listed as available. Items that don't meet our safety standards are not shared.

Meetups & Pickups

• Drop-offs and pickups are coordinated directly with The Sharing Shelves — never with a stranger you haven't communicated with.
• When possible, meet in a public, well-lit location or arrange for a parent/guardian to be present.
• Trust your instincts. If something feels off, you can always reschedule.

Privacy

Personal contact information shared through our forms is used only to coordinate donations and requests. See our Privacy Policy for details.

If you ever have a safety concern about an item or an interaction related to The Sharing Shelves, please contact us right away.
