Call for Pre-Swap Donations! 👕 👖 👗

As we’d love to give early birds at our clothing swap event an opportunity to choose from plenty of wonderful items, we are soliciting donations this week!

Contact us through DM here, or, via the link in our bio to set up a drop off time for a bag or two of your gently used clothes and small items (see our main Clothing+ Swap post for the run down of items we’re accepting)
This is also perfect for those of you who perhaps can’t make it on Saturday, but would like to pass along some stuff.

Happy swapping!
