Julia Ross, director of the Clark County Equipment Exchange Program, accepted donations of sports equipment twice this summer at the Camas Farmer's Market. Ross founded the program to promote participation in youth sports programs and leagues by helping families offset the costs of purchasing new equipment. When young athletes outgrow equipment such as soccer cleats, they can exchange them for a larger size. Donors are also invited to bring sports equipment sitting unused in their garages.
Donations at the Camas Farmer's Market included baseball bats and a box of cleats. The Clark County Equipment Exchange Program also accepts baseball pants, gloves, football helmets, pads, soccer balls, shin guards, basketball shoes, tennis racquets, balls and golf shoes, clubs and tees for boys and girls.
