So Why do an Exchange for Clothing?
Great question! People are always on the hunt for new clothing, shoes, belts, etc.. You name it we're always looking for it. So, Instead of going to an department store, trendy boutique, or even a great sale. (All of which are something we will continue to do.) Why not give those stores a break and give your lovely garments to someone else, and in return you may find a treasure for yourself! This is a GREAT parallel to everyday recycling. Recycling your clothing is a beneficial act, that helps your neighbor and your community, and will provide some much needed funds for the impoverished in India, so it's a win, win, win! You can bring as many bags (lets try not to use plastic bags!,lol) of clothing you want. With just the simple donation of $20.00. You then can leave with as many bags as you want! Think about how much you spend on a pair of jeans.........yeah we think it's a pretty great deal too!
INFO.:
-We will have food (tacos!), baked goods, and sodas for purchase.
-You can start bringing your bags of clothing to church now, making it easier for us to organize them the day of. So, when you attend you'll just need $20.00 and a bag to load up!
-Any left over clothing will be given to either the India Team or a local shelter.
We do need help, so if you'd like to volunteer please email us at:

We are super excited about this event, and really hope you will spread the word to friends, family, co-workers, etc. to come and join us! We hope to see you September 20th, let's make a difference and have some fun TOGETHER!
