July 2025 Clothes Swap

Our next CLOTHES SWAP IS THE SUNDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS13th July 2025 11-2pm Unfortunately we will not have space to swap shoes this time, due to expected wet weather and limited undercover space. We will still be swapping mens, womens and childrens clothes as well as bags, belts and other accessories. This event is free to attend. Optional gold coin donation to cover the modest running cost and help to keep this event completely cost free for those in need. How it works: * clean out your wardobe (or someone else's!). Check the clothes you want to donate for dirt and damage, wash/mend anything that needs it, and then pack the items into reusable bags. You can drop the items off in advance at either a Greenwood drop point between now and the 12th, or to Meerilinga Woodvale during their opening hours in the week of the 7th July. Send us a pm for more information on the drop points. There is no limit on items you can drop off ahead of time, but please ensure they are CLEAN and in GOOD CONDITION, and must be in reusable bags (paper is fine); please save your garbage bags for actual garbage. OR You can bring a maximum of 10 items/1 bag full on the day of the event BEFORE 12 noon. This is so we have time to get your items hung and on the racks while people are still shopping. On the event day, doors will open for "shopping" at 11am. You can take home as many items as you like, for free! The racks will be gettinf restocked throughout the event as space becomes available, so you don't need to rush. New items arrive right up until 12 noon. If you are bringing a pram or mobility aid, or just don't like crowds, please come to the event between 1-2pm. This is for the safety of all participants - it will be crowded for the first hour and there will not be space. There will still be beautiful items left in the last hour! Shopping time runs from 11am until 2pm. Spend as little or as much time as you want browsing. We have a tea and coffee station, plus some snacks donated by Weigh n Pay, to encourage you to have a little break between laps. At 2pm the "shop ia shut" and our volunteers pack everything away for sorting at home. Some leftover items are retained for next time. Most are donated to various charities and recycling organisations in line with what they are currently in need of. We try to get the clothes into the hands of those who can make best use of them, and are open to suggestions if you represent an organisation with a need for clothing items. Send us a pm or comment below if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you there! Also check out other Nonprofit events in Joondalup [https://allevents.in/joondalup/nonprofit] .
