November Women's Group
Join us on November 21, 2023 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm for a clothing Swap & Shop. Invite your friends and bring your reusable bags for a fun evening of sustainable (and free!) shopping and good company!
Do you have clothes/accessories/jewelry in your closet that don't fit or that you just don't wear as much as you thought? Please indicate so below, and Faith will contact you to arrange the drop-off of your clean, undamaged items. Any items that do not get claimed at the end of the night will be donated, so please be mindful to give items that are in good used condition. We ask that any items that are stained or in need of mending be left at home. If you don't have clothes that you would like to give away, don't worry! We have received a donation of new women's clothing as well, so there will be lots to go around!
This event will be hosted at the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre. The items will all be displayed for easy browsing and our bathrooms will be available for try-ons.
This event is open to all women over the age of 16. Childcare is not provided.
If you have any questions, please contact Faith at the Welcome Centre at 306-774-6175 (call or text) or email faith@newcomerwelcomecentre.com
