How we match you

Once you log in and tell us the size and gender, we find a family whose child wears the next size down, so the clothes arrive right when they are needed.

What to expect along the way

Your profile

You are in control

You tell us your children's sizes and genders, and choose whether you want to send, receive, or both. You can change those preferences anytime.

The match

Matched intentionally

We pair your bag with a family whose child can wear those clothes next. If a match does not feel right, you can always request a new one.

Shipping

Straight from home to home

You get a prepaid shipping label and can track your bag as it travels from your home to another family's home. No bins, no middle steps.

Giving first

And when you receive

Once you have sent a bag, you are in line to receive your child's next size when a match comes your way. The more families in the loop, the faster it comes around.

The honest version of receiving

When you opt in to receive, you join the list of families waiting for your child's next size. When another family sends a bag that matches that size and gender, we let you know and you can track it to your door.

Because matches depend on what is flowing through the community, the timing is not fixed. Think of it as giving first, and receiving when the loop comes back to you.

You will know exactly where your clothes went.

Most donation is a black box. You drop clothes in a bin and hope for the best. The Little Loop is the opposite.

Dropping clothes in a donation bin

  • You never find out where they go
  • Often sorted, baled, and resold in bulk
  • A large share still ends up in a landfill
  • No real family, no real connection

Sending a Little Loop bag

  • You see the exact family your clothes go to, by name and location
  • They go directly to a child who wears that size next
  • Nothing gets lost, baled, or landfilled along the way
  • A real mom, helping a real mom

You are part of something bigger now.

Every bag you send keeps good clothes out of a landfill and puts them straight into the hands of a family who needs them. That is the loop: moms helping moms, clothes staying in use longer, and a lot less waste. You did not just sign up for a service. You chose a better way.

Ready when you are

Frequently asked questions

Will I definitely get a bag back?
When you send, there is always a family in the loop who needs that size and gender, so your bag never goes unmatched. Receiving works the other way around: you are matched as soon as another family sends a bag in your child's size, so there is no guarantee on timing. The more families in the loop, the faster it comes around.
How does the matching work?
After you log in and enter the size and gender, we find a family whose child wears the same gender, one size down, so the clothes arrive right when they are needed.
Why not just donate?
When you donate to a bin, you rarely know if your clothes reach another child. The Little Loop sends them directly to a specific family who needs that exact size, so nothing gets lost along the way.
What can I send?
Clean, gently worn clothes with no major stains or rips, plus working toys and books with all their pieces. Please do not send shoes, used underwear or socks, or torn or heavily stained items.
Who pays for shipping?
Your prepaid shipping label is included with your bag. There is nothing extra to buy to send it.
Can I only send, or only receive?
Yes. You choose to send, receive, or both when you set up your profile, and you can change it anytime.
