New year, new wardrobe! Join us for a sustainability-focused community clothing swap of new and gently used fashion! See the Reference Desk for donation guidelines and participation information.
Every year, people in the United States throw out more than 34 billion pounds of used textiles. Divided across the population, that’s more than 100 pounds of textile waste per person each year. Of those, 66% end up in landfills.
Give your new and gently used clothes a second life with a sustainability-focused clothing swap! Help the environment, clean out your closet, and build community with a free fashion sharing event!
READ GUIDELINES BELOW CAREFULLY before donating or participating. Unacceptable items will be refused.
