Families across the Macedon Ranges are invited to refresh their children’s wardrobes at the upcoming Kids Clothing Swap hosted by the Woodend Neighbourhood House.
House manager Melissa Baker said the swap is a win-win for families and the environment.
“Kids grow out of clothes so quickly – it just makes sense to share what we no longer need,” she said.
“The clothing swap is a practical way to reduce waste, save money, and help each other out.”
The swap will be held Saturday, August 16, and will offer families the opportunity to swap up to 10 quality items of children’s clothing in exchange for new-to-you finds – all while supporting local community programs.
Clothes can be dropped off on Friday, August 15, from noon to 3pm, and again on the morning of the swap from 8.30am to 9.30am, ahead of the event running from 10am to noon on August 16.
Held at the Woodend Neighbourhood House, the swap is open to anyone with children’s clothing in good, clean condition – from size 0000 through to size 16.
Swappers will receive one token per item dropped off, which can then be exchanged for other items during the swap.
Entry is by a $5 donation, with all proceeds from the event going to help support the activities run at the Woodend Neighbourhood House, including the Woodend Food Bank.
Items not swapped on the day will be donated to Our Village, a not-for-profit organisation supporting families in need.
