About the event

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

Clothing Requirements:

  • Clean & in good repair
  • Clothing + Shoes
  • NO- holes unless for fashion, underwear, bras, socks, jewelry, hats, belts, or other accessories
  • Age: preteens clothing and up (a children's clothing swap is the following weekend)

Donation Drop Offs:

Cook County Community Center Log Cabin

  • Friday, November 4th 8 am to 10 am & 5 pm to 7 pm
  • Saturday, November 5th 9 am to 11 am
  • Please try to do some pre-organizing to minimize strain on volunteers (by size, type of garment)

Mending Stations:

  • Fabulous local seamstresses will be volunteering to mend some of your favorite threads to breathe new life into your garment so you can enjoy wearing it again! 
  • Want to mend your own but want some guidance? Menders will assist you.
  • Mending fixes are dependent on the menders’ availability

Volunteer:
