Clothing swap: Dressing sustainably for a good cause

On Nov. 25, the highly successful York University Clothing Swap for the United Way returns. Practise sustainable shopping while reducing and recycling. Organizers are asking members of the York community who are planning to donate clothing and participants to the clothing swap to register online by visiting the York University Clothing Swap for the United Way Web site by Nov. 18.

Bring clean, modern, gently worn and new items you no longer wear or use and then swap and take home your favourites. Bring a minimum of three items of adult clothing, shoes and accessories (belts or purses) to The Underground between 8 and 9:30am. Then return between 12 and 2pm, and for a $5 entrance fee, you can try on a variety of outfits. If you love it, it’s yours!

The $5 entrance fee will go to the United Way. All unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity.

Those interested in volunteering or donating to the clothing swap send an e-mail to uwswap@yorku.ca. For more information on this event and for the online registration form, visit the York University Clothing Swap for the United Way Web site.
