One Month Shy

What a whirlwind it has been these past few months! In just a few weeks time the Hamilton Clothing Swap will be celebrating it's 2nd year of serving multiple communities through your support and donations.

When we started this event we wanted to bring the Escarpment and Downtown Hamilton together. Often times than not, they are two separate entities. The Hamilton Clothing Swap was created through our deep love for Hamilton and the various communities that make it beautiful.

Both charities, Neighbour2Neighbour and Martha's House serve their communities seamlessly.
Our event will not only help them buy more food for their food bank, build community gardens, and provide clothing for life's milestones but allow families who are struggling have that extra helping hand when they are in need.

We're now a month away from our 2nd annual swap and we are beyond excited to share what we have gathered and curated.

Please keep in mind that we are accepting donations right up until the event day. Please contact us @ hamiltonclothingswap@gmail.com to arrange a pick up or for more information on how you can donate.

100% of proceeds will be going to Neighbour 2 Neighbour and Good Shepherd's, Martha's House.

A big THANK YOU to Sean @sltcartwright and his company @weareheratics for this gorgeous poster. Many of you discovered our event last year through his eye-catching posters, we can't wait to see these all over the city this year! SWAP ON!

Two Months & Counting...

We are just under the two month mark for when the Hamilton Clothing Swap commences at the beautiful Theatre Aquarius on May 31st. We have already received so much support from various communities and we THANK YOU!

Donations have been trickling in and we are already further ahead than we were last year at this time and it's all because of you! Please keep us in mind this Spring when you flip through your closet and dresser drawers, the Hamilton Clothing Swap is accepting donations right up until the event so please contact us if you would like a pick up.

Spread the word about the event! It will be a fantastic day of supporting local charities and rejuvenating your wardrobe on a dime. If you joined us last year you are aware of the selection and quality of our garments and accessories. We promise you will not be disappointed this year!

We will have refreshments available for our swappers free of charge to keep you going and swapping!

If that wasn't more incentive to join us on May 31st, Joe Fresh from the Fortinos on Main Street West has generously donated clothing to us!! We are so grateful for their contribution to the Hamilton Clothing Swap. Thank you to Antoinette, Lucy & Maryanne for your kind donation.
