As we continue swapping out summer clothes for fall, and yes, eventually winter, I’m sure you’ve noticed that some of last year’s items don’t quite fit like they should. Well, you’re in luck because it’s once again time for the annual Faith Church Clothes Swap taking place this Saturday, October 11 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in Rochester Hills.
This event has consistently been a blessing to those in and around the community and we hope you’ll choose to take part in it this year. Let’s get started!
What’s a Clothes Swap?
A Clothes Swap is a totally free event, with no obligation to bring anything or take anything. It’s called a “swap” because so many people bring clothes they no longer need and take what they do want or need.
Here’s how it works:
At home, sort, and fold clean clothes (clothes you wouldn’t mind putting on your family to go out in public) by size into boxes or bags. Then when you get to the swap, sort the clothes by size onto marked tables.
Next comes the fun part. Go to the tables with the size clothes you are looking for, and take what you need. Free of charge. No strings attached. There are no minimums… or maximums!
At the conclusion of the event, all that remains will be collected by Grace Centers of Hope to further reach those in need.
You may drop off clothes at church as early as Thursday, October 9 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., and Friday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to allow organizers to sort donations.
