FREE Clothing Swap/Exchange Saturday February 21st  — At Countryside Community Church, 18810 S.W. Kruger Road, Sherwood. Countryside Community Church will be hosting a FREE Clothing Exchange on Saturday, February 21st, at 10 a.m. Bring any gently worn clothing items to exchange that you or your loved ones no longer wear.

What:  Free Family Clothing swap

Where: Countryside Community Church, 18810 S.W. Kruger Road, Sherwood

When:  Saturday February 21st, 10am

Bring:  Clothing in great shape for women, men, and kids

Beginning at 10 a.m. everyone will be released to “shop” through all the clothing (there will be children’s, men’s and women’s categories limited to Clothing Items Only) and take whatever they would like for free.

All of the leftover clothing at the end of the hour will be donated to local non-profit organizations to help clothe others in the surrounding communities as well as our own. This is a great way to share resources with others in our community, especially children’s clothing as children grow in and out of clothing so quickly, and it’s a great way to get some shopping in for yourself without having to spend a penny!  For more information contact Paula Rummerfield at paula.rummerfield@gmail.com or call the venue at (503) 925-0689.

Clean out your closet! Gather all the clothes in good condition that you don’t wear or want: Include accessories like shoes, hats, belts, purses, jewelry, etc. (but please: no used make-up or undergarments). Our next women/teen size petite/XS and Small swap at People’s Co-op will be Friday, February 20th at  7pm. Please limit to good quality – no rips or stains, including grease. If you have larger sizes or kids sizes, please take them to the correct swap for those sizes. 

Find out more and RSVP here.

Please bring 2 times the number of empty bags as you have full of clothes for the remainders! I provide the structure & bring the leftovers down the street, & ask gals to help me bag & bring stuff down to my car so I can do that easily. Thanks for helping to make your swap community a reality, and remember by participating in free swaps you agree to not sell anything you get for free at a free swap, but can give it away or bring it back to the next swap if you decide it’s not quite ‘you’.  Good karma continues as we’re all philanthropists making a positive difference for ourselves and others!

Tigard All-size swap update for February 16th – YES it’s ON :)

YES, the dress-up and treasure hunting is still on!  Barbara and Cindy of the Tigard all Size Clothing Swap will still have the monthly swap this Monday February 16th , 7pm at the Colossae Church venue  12244 SW Garden Place, Tigard, OR even though it’s President’s Day. We will NOT have a swap in March so please come in February if possible and then we’ll meet again in April!

Both Cindy & I are in busy stages of life, and with more swaps now on the west side…we are considering opting to go every other month and then 4 times a year starting in the fall.  We’ll keep you updated here on Swap Positive.

But for now,  wanted to give our swappers a heads-up that we’re taking March off. So many women are used to every third Monday that I’m hoping they’ll see the announcement, or come this Monday when I verbally announce it.

Thank you!

Barbara and Cindy, Volunteer hostesses for the Tigard All-Size women’s clothing swap at the Colossae Church.
