Cook County Community Clothing Swap!

Look through your wardrobe and grab those clothes that never get worn to swap at the Community Clothing Swap! Swap and 'shop' through your neighbor's wardrobe to bring home some new threads.

Here's the deal:

• Bring your own reusable bags to bring donations and take your new digs home with you!
• Community Potluck! Bring snacks and treats to share.
• This is a zero-waste event! Bring your own utensils & eating ware. Reusable cookware will be provided as well. 
• Please consider carpooling with friends, family or neighbors. Let's minimize our emissions with this clothing swap!
•  If you have nothing to swap but are in need of clothes, please join us!
• Mending Stations
