FAQ:
What is an Open House style swap?
There is no setup period, and the swapping happens for the full 2 hours. Just come in whenever you are available, drop off your items, hangout, and shop around.

Why am I limited to bringing 5 items?
All leftover clothing has to be redistributed to another program. Since this is a new event, we are keeping the number small until we know our full capacity.

It also helps drive the intention of the swap: this is not about bringing unwanted piles of clothing, it’s about sharing the select items with your local community.

What does it mean to be a body neutral space?
Body neutrality is about adopting a non-judgment and accepting approach to one’s body. De-emphasizing the importance of appearance, and viewing the body as simply the tool that carries you through life. In this space, it means refraining from comments that are a value judgement of your or other people’s body. You as you exist currently are enough.
