Fall Clothing Swap
Just in time to start throwing together an affordable Halloween costume or to pick up some fall essentials before the chill hits, the Fall Clothing Swap is the place to be this weekend to trade in old threads.
One can bring in their old clothes, shoes, purses and more in exchange for items completely new to them.
According to Wolf Tree Collective’s Facebook event, “We have had great success the last two swaps … Folks have left with BAGS full.”
This event is free, however, a $3 to $10 donation is asked to help support the space Wolf Tree Collective uses to hold their free programs for families in the community.
Any clothes still remaining after the Swap are donated to other non-profits.
