Thrift Store & Clothing Swap
Join KUS Sustainability and Get Thrifty UBC at our fabulous clothing swap in the Nest. To help us out we are asking you to take those gently used and loved clothes you have that are in need of a new home and donate them, so they can be loved by someone else and help the planet at the same time.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in participating in then bring your clothes down to the KUS office during executive hours in a bag with your name and number of items on it! Read the post for details on items we are accepting! We will sort through your items and assign you a credit that you can then redeem at the event and find your new look! We will also be doing swaps at the event if you are unable to donate ahead of time, and therefore receive a credit at that time.
If you are unable to donate but would still like to check out the event we will be having set prices on items that are available for purchase - with proceeds going towards a local charity!
All leftover items will be donated to local shelters and save them from putting excess strain on landfills! Let’s win the fight against fast fashion and bring in a greener and more affordable 2024!
