So, Alexa, Alexis, and I are organizing a clothes swap at our law school.  Here’s the e-mail blast:

Come to the first public interest clothes swap, Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Social Change from 6-8!

Unburden your closet of clothes you don’t wear anymore, update your wardrobe for free, and help out New York City’s neediest populations, all while enjoying wine, snacks, and excellent company!

If you’ve never been to a clothes swap before, you should know that: 
a) they’re awesome; 
b) you bring clothes that you’ve gotten tired of or that don’t fit anymore; 
c) you try on others’ clothes and take home what you like; 
d) everything left over goes to charity; 
e) it’s eco-friendly (why buy new clothes and throw out your old ones when you can swap ‘em?); and 
f) while clothing swaps are traditionally ladies’ events, boy clothes and boy presence is appreciated and encouraged!

The details:

• What: Bring your old clothes, and take home someone else’s … it’s like our very own Beacon’s Closet (or whatever your favorite thrift store is)!  Please bring clothes that are still in wearable condition (i.e. no. rips or stains).  Warm winter clothes and business/business casual clothes are particularly appreciated for donations.

• When: Wednesday, November 11, 6-8 p.m.

• Where: In the Review of Law and Social Change office in d’Ag basement

• Admission: one item of canned food per person.

• Also: There will be snacks!  And wine/other refreshments!

Leftover clothes and canned food items will be donated to: Sanctuary for Families, Housing Works, Prep for Success, and the Hebrew Union College Soup Kitchen


Thanks to all our amazing co-sponsors: REACH, HIV Law Society, Domestic Violence Advocacy Project, and Women of Color Collective.
