The Little Exchange

Founded in 1950 by Elsie T. Mead and her friends, The Little Exchange gift shop has been a charitable foundation for over 50 years. Located in Oakwood at 45 Park Avenue, The Little Exchange is the perfect place to find the ultimate wedding, birthday or any-occasion gift. More than 125 volunteers work at The Little Exchange helping shoppers and gift wrapping purchases.

Every year, The Little Exchange donates its annual profits to Dayton Children's. Since its start in 1950, The Little Ex, as it is affectionately known, has donated over $1.4 million to Dayton Children's. The Little Exchange Foundation currently supports the FamilyResource Center.
