About
Program at Bucktown-Wicker Park Branch, Chicago Public Library November 14 at 1 PM. Listed on Bucktown-Wicker Park Branch, Chicago Public Library's official calendar.
This gender-inclusive clothing swap makes it easier to refresh a wardrobe without buying new clothes. Its first hour gives transgender and gender-nonconforming attendees priority when selecting items, while the full event welcomes everyone to donate clean adult-size clothing and accessories.
What to expect
Bring a bag and place clean, gently used adult-size clothes and accessories on the tables marked for their sizes. During the first hour, only transgender and gender-nonconforming attendees may take items home; everyone is welcome to donate throughout the event. You do not need to contribute clothing in order to choose something. Any items left at the end will be donated rather than held for pickup.
