CLOTHING SWAP - SATURDAY, MAY 15, 2010, 11AM-3PM

ROMEO HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA
11091 W. 32 MILE ROAD
ROMEO, MI 48065


Clothing Our Community,
One FREE outfit at a time…

A Community Effort,
Meeting Community Needs

Cleaning out those closets for spring & summer??

SERVE, CAPS and the North Macomb Leos are collecting reusable clothing for
children and adults.

Drop clothes off Friday, May 14, 10-3
(only by making arrangements by calling 586-281-1149)
OR bring to the swap.

Our goal is to provide families in need with clothing FREE of charge. YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO BRING CLOTHES TO TAKE CLOTHES.

Donating clothing is an easy way to help someone in your community.

For more information, please call
Kelly Carson (586) 281-1149
Celia Ciecko (586) 281-1732

SEE BELOW FOR RULES/PROCEDURE FOR SWAP



HOW IT WORKS:

At home, sort CLEAN clothes by size and bag or box. Bring clothes to the
swap and hand in to uniformed staff at the entrance to the cafeteria. DO NOT
give your donation to anyone outside the building.

Bring a REUSABLE GROCERY SIZED BAG or regular plastic grocery bags. We will
have some bags if you do not bring any. NO laundry baskets or garbage
bags. Strollers are OK for kids but NOT for collecting clothes.

ONE BAG AT A TIME may be filled. You may fill a bag, take it to your car,
and then return to the swap. This process may be repeated many times
provided the attendee does not take amounts deemed excessive (i.e.,
suggestive of resale or use for an organization). Swap volunteers have the
right to ask an attendee who is taking too many clothes to leave the swap.

SWAP VOLUNTEERS will wear identifying clothing/name tags. Only approved
volunteers will be allowed in before the swap starts.

NO CHARITIES, CHURCH GROUPS, SHELTERS, MOM-TO-MOM PARTICIPANTS, OR RESALE
GROUPS will be allowed. If your group is interested in leftover clothing,
you may ask to be put on a request list.


Attending the swap IMPLIES CONSENT TO THESE RULES. The very few who abuse
the generosity and good intentions of this event will be expected to leave
empty-handed.

"WHAT'S A CLOTHES SWAP?"

This is a totally FREE event, with NO obligation to bring anything or take anything. It's called a "swap" because so many people bring clothes they no longer need, and take what they DO want.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

At home, sort and fold CLEAN clothes (clothes you wouldn't mind putting on your family to go out in public) by size into boxes or bags. THEN, when you get to the swap, sort the clothes by size onto marked tables. Next comes the fun part. Go to the tables with the size clothes you are looking for, and take what you need. Free of charge. No strings attached. There are no minimums or maximums.

Some families are looking to clean out the clothes they no longer use, and they bring boxes of clothes in, sometimes leaving with just one or two "special" things. Other families are really in need of clothes, and come with little or nothing, but leave with bags of clothes. Others bring what they took last season, for another family to take this time, and bring home another season's worth themselves to start the process again.
The Organization will provide the bags for that day. One bag per family! This is the only way to keep the swap fair. We will have extra bags that we will provide for a $1.00 donation per adult.

THIS IS FOR INDIVIDUALS ONLY ... NO charities, shelters, or resale.


HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?

Look for clothes you might like to bring. Wash, fold, and sort them by size. Then call all your friends and family and ask them to do the same ... and come alone or as a group to the swap! Clothes swapping are even more fun when you can share your great finds with friends.

WHAT SIZES?

All sizes of baby, kids, and adult clothing (including coats, shoes, and accessories). VERY lightly stained clothes are OK as some people don't mind these for work or play, or are talented at removing stains. However, all clothing MUST BE CLEAN. Fabric and baby accessories are welcome.

WHEN IS DROP OFF?

Tuesday, Feb 17, 2010 from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.

Monday, Feb 1st, 10-2pm
