It's the giving season! And this year, we want to help our community spend a little less pocket change (so you have more money left over to buy art and handmade goods from local artists and shops!)
So, we are hosting a FREE Clothing & Gift Swap on Thurs., Dec. 12 from 4-7pm at the Avondale Arts Center! Come out to peruse a selection of donated clothing AND gifts that you can share with your loved ones this holiday season.
FAQ:
* You don't have to donate to shop, and you don't have to shop to donate.
* Yes, it's really 100% free to attend!
* Kids are allowed however they must be supervised as there will be many opportunities for them to get into things and make a mess.
* We are accepting gently used and good condition clothing (no underwear please) for men, women, and children.
* Suggested giftable items include: toys, books, candles, housewares, CDs / DVDs / Records, unopened and unused bath products.
* Please fold your clothing neatly by size and category.
* Clothing that is meant to be hung may be donated on hangers already, but we cannot return any hangers to you after the event.
* Pro tip - this is a handy tutorial on how to package up hanging clothes on hangers in a trash bag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6TNzrpF_2g
* Attendees who wish to try on new clothing items will benefit from wearing a thin underlayer of clothing (think leggings and a camisole for women) so that you feel comfortable trying on clothing in a room with other people. We will have a bathroom and a small changing area available, but we expect that some will opt to try clothes on top of what they are wearing.
* Leftover items at the end of the event will be donated to a local charity, details TBD.
