Swap! Not Shop! Earth Day Edition April 21, 2013

Swap! Not Shop! is Homeygrown's Biannual Clothing Exchange in Oakland, CA.
This event counteracts the disposable nature of consumerism by providing the time and place for shopping renegades to recycle clothes and other reusable items. Everything left over is donated to local charities!
Bring a bag of gently-used, clean items, and dig in other people's trash to find your newest treasure.

Rethink that trip to the shop and instead, swap with us!

We all come to Swap! Not Shop! with the intention of getting rid of items and take home 'new to you' goodies. Anything from gently used clothes & shoes to household items can be swapped! But we don't want your junk and neither does anyone else so please be considerate about what you bring to swap. When you come to swap, you can bring one item or many items. Our staff separates everything into different piles and sections. Then you look through the piles and different tables and take as much as you want! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING IN BAGS! That means those items are spoken for and belong to someone else.

Check out this list of what you CAN and CAN'T bring:

BRING THESE:
- Men, women, and children's clothing...all sizes please!
- Shoes
- Jewelery
- Bags and purses
- Non-perishable food
- Household items
- Movies and music
- Books and magazines

LEAVE THESE AT HOME:
- Anything considered JUNK!
- Dirty items
- UNDERWEAR, CHONIES, THONGS...even if they're clean!
- Broken items to the point they can't be reused
- Random pieces of things
