Gisborne ladies are invited to give their preloved clothes a second life at a Fashion Swap.
Organised by Kerri Matthews, this event not only gives you the chance to spruce up your wardrobe, but also helps you support a good cause, with all money raised going towards the Gisborne Foodbank.
“It’s a very casual event, we used to just do it with just some friends in the lounge room but we’ve decided to open it up as a slightly bigger event for ladies in town,” she said.
“You can just bring whatever clothes you’ve got in your wardrobe that you no longer want and then you rummage through what everyone else brought and fill a bag for $5.”
Entry for the swap is $10, with one free bag on entry. Additional bags can be purchased for $5 each.
“We’ll have some light refreshments and a cuppa available,” Ms Matthews said.
“This is just something to bless the community, bless the mums in town and bless the foodbank.
“We just want to bless where we possibly can and it’s providing an opportunity for people to get together and hopefully get some new clothes in the meantime, have some fun and support an awesome cause.”
The group is also working with local Sheridan Earl who helps run a monthly pre-loved clothing sale.
The Fashion Swap is on Friday, July 4 from 6-10pm, at Faithworks Christian Church, Gisborne.
