Grace Women | Swap & Shine

JOIN US FOR a time of fellowship as we share pre-loved clothes and afternoon tea together

Come along to our annual clothing swap! This is an opportunity to give your used, pre-loved clothes a second life, reduce textile waste, and to freshen up your wardrobe too.

After popular demand from our last event, we’re also providing some flower paper craft activities during the event as well.

what is a clothing swap?

A clothing swap is a thrifty and environmentally friendly way freshen up your wardrobe, save money and help fight textile waste.

It’s a great way to give your pre-loved clothes a second life, with any remaining clothes donated to those within our community in need.

Clothes brought for donation must be clean, free of any holes, rips, stains or faults (e.g. broken zippers, pilling or fraying items, noticeably worn out items). Only bring items you would give to a member of your family or a friend!

Please do not bring any of the following items (for hygiene purposes):

  • Underwear, socks, hosiery and swimwear

  • Earrings and wigs

If you have more than 20 items that you would like to donate, please see Amanda or Charis before bringing the items.
