Free Community Clothing Swap! @ IBC

Jun 15 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

It’s our fifth annual Free Community Clothing Swap! We will have all sizes, genders, ages, seasons, and styles, including shoes, accessories, and outerwear.
Will be taking place Sat. June 15th, 10am-2pm at 2000 W North St in Bellingham.
Clothes can be brought to exchange, but it’s never required. This is a free clothing event, open to all. Last year we served over 300 Whatcom residents in person, and all leftover items went to local assistance groups to helps others free of charge. We had enough clothing for 3000-4000 individuals and hope to clothe even more of our neighbors this year!
This year we’ll have an expanded activity area for kids, refreshments for attendees, and lots of clothing to share. Hope to see you there!
