What type of clothing to bring to swap
Organizers ask that all items brought to the event be clean and in good condition.
People should not bring anything that is stained, torn, or unwearable. A good rule of thumb is only to bring items you would feel comfortable giving to a friend.
At check-in, organizers will quickly look through the items you brought to make sure they meet our quality standards.
Accepted items include adult clothing in all sizes, shoes, coats, and handbags.
Items that will NOT be accepted include torn clothing and clothing in bad condition, children's clothing, undergarments, socks, jewelry, accessories, house goods, toys, bedding, pillows, and anything else non-clothing related.
Any items left over at the end of the event will be donated.
