Join us at MLK Library for a transformative clothing swap, where you can breathe new life into pre-loved pieces and discover unique treasures. Whether you're decluttering or seeking one-of-a-kind finds, this event empowers fashion enthusiasts to refresh their style while promoting sustainability.


WHAT'S A CLOTHING SWAP?

A Clothing Swap is where participants gather together to exchange pre-loved clothing. Each person brings in their gently worn clothing that they no longer want, and then everyone gathers to exchange clothing. A Clothing Swap will provide everyone with the opportunity to revamp your style in a sustainable and budget-friendly way.


THERE WILL BE FOUR CLOTHING SWAPS IN 2025:

1. Spring - Saturday April 26th, 2025 from 1:30pm-3:30pm in 401-A

2. Summer - Saturday July 12th, 2025 from 1:30p.m.-3:30p.m. in the 5th floor Event Space

3. Fall - Saturday September 20th, 2025 from 1:30pm-3:30pm in the 5th floor Event Space

4. Winter- Sunday December 14th, 2025 from 2pm-3pm in the 5th floor Event Space (Drop-off starts at 1pm)


CLOTHING SWAP DETAILS:
  • Drop-off begins at 12:30 pm. (A time when you can drop off your items for sorting and organizing so that you can swap hassle-free)
  • Adult clothing of any sizes will be accepted.
  • Attendees who wish to participate can contribute up to 10 pieces of clothing. (You must bring in items in order to leave with items.)
  • Participants will receive tickets equal to the number of items brought that can be exchanged for other swapped items once browsing opens at 1:30pm.
