February 23, 2019Clothing swap = purge and/or refill your wardrobe and take part in an act of environmental stewardship without any exchange of money!
We will start collecting clothing, shoes and accessories (adult sizes only) in February. Bring your clean, gently used items to 2129 Commonwealth Ave. Then come and "shop" for new items on Saturday, February 23, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM. You do not need to bring a donation in order to select items. It's all very low-key!
This clothing swap is open to the community. Left-over items will be given to "Dress For Success" and Department of Indian Work.
Would you like to volunteer to organize the donations or help "shoppers" the day of? If so, please contact Kat Reynolds.
