Avoid waste and give your unused items a second life at the clothing swap! How does it work?
•Declutter: Look in your closet for items you no longer need. Gently used clothing, bags, shoes and accessories for any age/gender are welcome. No underwear.
•Attend: Bring your items to the clothing swap between 11-2 pm; our volunteers will sort and display the items.
•Swap: At any time between 11-2pm take home your favourites for free!
This is not a charity or textile disposal program; if you have gently used items that someone else may wear bring it to our swap. Everyone has items that no longer fit or match their style, why not give those items a second life in your neighbours closet and find a new treasure for yourself?
**please note participating in the clothing swap is free**
