Swap 'till you drop

This Friday, UFashion Toronto will be holding our second clothing swap. Bring any clean, gently loved clothing, shoes, or accessories you no longer want or can’t see yourself wearing again and swap it out for pieces that call your name and ask you to walk away with them. This is a great opportunity to reinvigorate your wardrobe right before the winter or perhaps find yourself a pick-me-up in the middle of midterm season, without costing an arm, leg, and a long journey through the Eaton Centre to find it. From 1 to 4 in the East Common Room in Hart House you can exchange old garments for tickets for new dresses, blouses, blazers, and more (up to 15 tickets per person).

Even if your closet has already reached a next level stage of perfection and you have nothing to contribute to the swap, $5 will buy you admission and 3 tickets to pick up new goodies. You know, just in case you see something that would make your closet even more perfect. For those bringing items to the swap, admission is $3.00. You can come by starting at noon to drop off your wares. 

Any goods leftover at the end of the swap will be donated to Pegasus Community Project. A Toronto-based day program for adults with developmental disabilities, Pegasus allows them to explore volunteer and employment interests and continue to grow and become self-reliant after they leave school. The program runs a thrift store, located on Kingston Road, which funds many of the project’s ventures and creates volunteer opportunities for participants in the program.

Note that this event is open to everyone, U of T students and the public. Friends are welcome to come and join in the fun.

See you there!
