WE ARE A GROUP OF BAY AREA COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT RESELL GENTLY USED ITEMS TO BENEFIT LOCAL CHARITIES
WE ARE A GROUP OF BAY AREA COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT RESELL GENTLY USED ITEMS TO BENEFIT LOCAL CHARITIES
We began reselling books during the COVID pandemic when people needed entertainment while our area's libraries and bookstores were closed. We couldn't start a club through school. So, we did it ourselves. We're away at college now but continue to sell books online through ALIBRIS.
100% of all proceeds are donated to local charities that support family health and wellbeing.
The Backyardigans currently support Haven Family House, a safe space for families in need that is based here in Menlo Park.
Donations of clothing and books are greatly appreciated.
Please use the contact page if you'd like to donate or just find out more about what we do.
