Friends are hosting a cozy winter community gathering with two heartfelt intentions:to share with one another through a clothing swap, and to support our unhoused neighbors through a winter clothing drive.

Community Clothing Swap

Bring gently used  clothes and shoes you no longer need and other items like jewelry and artwork and enjoy the experience of exchanging them with others. Whether you find something special or simply come to connect, you’re welcome just as you are. We’ll have a variety of teas and some sweets to make the space warm, relaxed, and inviting.

Winter Clothing Drive for the Free Store of Edgewater Mutual Aid 

We’ll be collecting items for the free store of an organization that supports people experiencing homelessness. Needed items include:

Winter clothing for men and women

• Coats, jackets, sweaters, hoodies

• Warm pants, thermal layers

• Hats, scarves, gloves

• New socks and underwear

Other much-needed items

• Backpacks

• Unopened hygiene items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, wipes, menstrual products, shampoo, soap, etc.) 

The link to their site is: https://edgewatermutualaid.org/free-store

You’re welcome to participate in either or both — swap, donate, sip tea, and be in community. There will be a donation jar if you also feel to donate to Edgewater Mutual Aid and Northside Friends.
