COMMUNITY CLOTHING SWAP
& TOILETRIES DRIVE
Clean out your closet.
Find something new-to-you.
Give back to our community.
Alameda Gallery & Collective is taking over Webster Park for an afternoon of swapping, sustainable shopping, and community giving!
Bring clean, gently used clothing you’re ready to pass along, add it to the swap, and then browse the racks for something new-to-you.
No clothes to swap? No problem.
Make a small donation to Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) or our participating local women’s shelter, and shop the swap. We want this event to be accessible to everyone—bring what you can and give how you can.
NEW: Toiletries Drive for a Local Women’s Shelter
We’re adding one more way to help our community!
Bring new, unopened toiletries and personal-care essentials to donate to a local women’s shelter.
Needed items include shampoo and conditioner, body wash, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, lotion, razors, hair-care products, and other everyday personal-care essentials.
