West Philly Clothing Swap this Saturday

December 8, 2011

Here’s a good chance for R and R (reuse and recycle) this weekend. The West Philly Clothing Swap will be held on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the A-Space Community Center (4722 Baltimore Avenue).

Here’s how it works:

Bring a bag or two of clean clothes, shoes and accessories (from baby to adult) and $5. You can recycle or upcycle your unwanted clothes, accessories and shoes or you can also turn them into new-to-you items. A sewing station complete with a sewing machine, needles, thread, buttons, ribbon and fabric will be provided.

Refreshments will be available, including vegan/gluten-free cookie samples from Liz Lovely and a Veg Fund table of vegan treats.

The $5 entrance fee per person will be donated to the A-Space that hosts such groups as Food Not Bombs and Books Through Bars.  Also, left-over clothing and items from the swap will be donated to Philly AIDS Thrift, a thrift shop that raises funds for AIDS-based charities.
