Hi, Columbia! 👋 I’m Giulia, the publisher of Macaroni KID Columbia!

In the last few months I have taken on Macaroni Kid for Columbia and now Boonville and have been learning the tricks of the trade. I thought it was time you put a face to the name!

I’ve lived in the Columbia area for quite a few years, and I’m so excited to use Macaroni KID to support a community I already know and love. My goal is to help local families discover the best events, activities, resources, and businesses our area has to offer.

If you know about an upcoming family-friendly event, a helpful local resource, or a business Columbia families should know about, please send it my way! I look forward to connecting with even more of our community and spreading the word about all the wonderful things happening here.

Why do we Freecycle? 💙

Because raising children is expensive.

Because babies outgrow clothes almost overnight.

Because sometimes the difference between a stressful week and a manageable one is simply having what your child needs.

And because there are closets, drawers, and storage bins all over our community filled with things children have outgrown, while another family could use those very things right now.

Freecycle brings those two families together.

No buying. No selling. No judgment.

Just neighbors helping neighbors and families helping families. 💙

Join us Friday, August 21 for our next Freecycle event at First Chance for Children!

♻️ Have it? Share it. Need it? Take it.
