About TrunkMatch
Born from a single dad's struggle to find quality, affordable clothes for his growing kids

Hi, I'm Donato
Founder & Single Dad
As a single dad raising two amazing kids, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old, I know firsthand how quickly children outgrow their clothes. What starts as a perfectly fitting outfit one month becomes too small the next, and suddenly you're facing the constant challenge of keeping up with their ever-growing needs.
Like many parents, I found myself spending countless hours searching for good deals on quality kids' clothes. I scoured thrift stores, Facebook marketplace groups, and local buy-and-sell pages, but it was exhausting. The process was fragmented, time-consuming, and often frustrating. I'd find something that looked perfect, only to discover it was the wrong size, wrong gender, or already sold.
I knew there had to be a better way. What if there was a platform that could match families based on their specific needs? What if you could easily find hand-me-downs that were the right size, age-appropriate, and from families you could trust? What if the whole process was simple, intuitive, and actually enjoyable?
That's how TrunkMatch was born.
I decided to build a better tool for hand-me-downs: one that connects families, makes sustainable living accessible, and helps parents like me save both time and money while giving our kids quality clothes they'll love.
TrunkMatch is more than just a marketplace. It's a community of families helping families. It's about making sustainable choices easier, reducing waste, and ensuring that quality kids' clothes get a second (or third, or fourth) life with families who need them.
Whether you're a parent looking for great deals, a family with clothes to pass along, or someone who believes in the power of community and sustainability, welcome to TrunkMatch. I'm excited to have you here, and I hope this platform makes your life a little bit easier, just like I wish it had existed when I first started this journey.
