Heartland Church will be hosting a Clothes Swap on Wednesday the 25th of July from 7pm – 9pm in the Mc Coombe room at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall.

A clothes swap is an event where people have the opportunity to free themselves from any unwanted clothes in their wardrobe and replace them with something they like better!

Basically as you enter the Hall there will be a table where you can present your goods to be donated and they will be checked over by one of the team members to see if they are of good quality (no holes or stains please!). Then you will be given additional tokens according to the quantity of clothing which you donate,  you will keep your tokens while you listen to a presentation from our guest speaker Mark Purser from Baptist World Aid. Mark will be explaining how Baptist World Aid has developed the Ethical Fashion Guide and how it is making a difference in communities around the world. If you don’t have any clothes to donate you will just have your three tokens from the $5 entry fee.

Following the presentation we will have a raffle and the Clothes Swap will begin! You will be able to choose clothing in exchange for your tokens, extra tokens will also be available at the cost of $2 each from the table in the entry.

Finger food will be served at this time.

If you would like to donate clothing prior to the event please contact Sally by email sally@glen.org.au

All money collected on the night through entry fee, extra token purchases and raffle entries will go towards the work of Baptist World Aid.

Clothes Swaps are a fun way to find new clothes while spending time with friends and the community without hurting our planet or it’s people. We hope you can come!!
