Hi all!
I'm working with Wild Child PEI and the City of Charlottetown to run another Community Clothing Swap. During the last one (Spring 2026) we had so many people mention wishing that it was held twice a year - Now we're getting to do a test drive of that with the City's support.
We will be accepting early drop-offs at the Bell Aliant Centre, 560 University Avenue, and Voluntary Resource Centre, 81 Prince Street, from October 17 to 23 during regular business hours.
Sharing the information here, in case any of you are interested in:
- Attending as a swapper
- Volunteering to help on the day of
- Rehoming clothing you planned to donate, even if you can't attend on the day
The event is going to be at the Simmons Arena Multi Purpose Room. It's an accessible space with lots of parking.
The event will run from 10am to 2pm.
One thing worth knowing about this swap is that we don't do it as a trading "one for one" style of swap. Our goal is to keep things from landfills and to let our community and neighbours have things we're done with, free of charge. Some people may not have anything to bring and that's alright. Others may donate lots but not want to take anything home!
