Bring your gently used clothing items and exchange them for new-to-you treasures! Clothing swaps are a fantastic way to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, reduce textile waste, and minimize your environmental footprint. By participating, you’re contributing to a circular economy and promoting sustainable fashion practices.
Clothing Swap Guidelines:
What to Bring:
- Gently Used Men/Women/Children Clothing items (5 items total MAXIMUM)
- Please bring your clothing washed and pre-folded to assist event organizers
- Accessories: Bags, Jewelry, Hats, Etc. (5 items total MAXIMUM)
- A reusable bag to take home all your new finds! (Bags not provided)
How will it work?
- Arrive and check in at the front desk
- Exchange your clothing items with the front desk volunteer to hang up to receive your clothing ticket.
- 1 item (clothing/accessory) = 1 ticket
- Ex. You bring in 5 items of clothing, you will receive 5 tickets.
- Peruse the clothing tables in the River Room. Once you’ve selected your pieces, return your tickets to the jar on the front desk.
- 5 tickets = 5 items to take home
Plus, discover local environmental initiatives and meeting eco‑friendly textile vendors, including Union Overall Co.
