Join us for a sustainable clothing swap!
Here's how it works:
The goal of this swap is to provide a more eco-friendly way to "shop" outside of fast fashion. Our goal is to put gently used items in your closet that you can wear out with friends & family, to work, while being active or while lounging at home.
To participate, drop off five to ten items of clothing and/or accessories and shoes, clean and in good shape, to the Adult Services desk on the 2nd floor - we will begin accepting items on Wednesday, August 14th. On the night of the event, prepare to “shop!” You can also donate items if you can't or don't want to attend the event!
To drop off your items ahead of time, please bring them to the Adult Services desk on the 2nd floor. All juniors and adult sizes are welcome! This event is for teens and adults, so please no children's clothing. Have some extra hangers you don't need? We will also take them to use at the swap!
This swap is for all genders! In the past, we have had a small amout of GREAT men's clothes included, but would love to have more male participation. Please encourage the fashion-interested men in your life to participate!
We will not accept:
X T-shirts (We’re talking the old frayed college tee, the random 5K tee, etc.)
X Undergarments
X Anything with a rip/hole*, stain, or heavy fading
X Children's clothing
*If the item is purposely distressed, it is permitted. Ex: jeans with distressing.
In this Sustainable Style series of programming, we will learn ways to step out of the fast fashion vortex and answer the age old question “What will I wear?” in a sustainable way. At this clothing swap, refresh your wardrobe and share your personal style with your community! Clothing swaps are a sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe without contributing to fast fashion. By exchanging clothes, you can give new life to items that may have been discarded and find unique pieces to add to your collection. This helps reduce textile waste and the carbon footprint associated with producing new clothing. Swapping clothes is both eco-friendly and budget-friendly, making it a win-win for you and the planet.
