We're looking for libraries, community centers, schools, cultural spaces, and other social groups interested in hosting a free Good Clothes Community event. Whether it's a clothing swap, repair party, or community mending workshop, we'll help create a welcoming event that brings people together around something everyone has: clothes!

Everything to make it happen.

What Is a Good Clothes Community Event?

Good Clothes Community events are fun, welcoming gatherings where people can:

  • Exchange clothing with their neighbors
  • Learn simple repair and mending skills
  • Extend the life of the clothes they already own
  • Meet new people and build community connections
  • Reduce waste in a practical and positive way

No experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.

What We Need From You

Hosting is simple. All we ask for is:

  • A room or gathering space, suitable for your event
  • A few tables and chairs (if available)
  • Help sharing the event with your community
  • Other needs can be discussed further as we begin to design your event

That's it. There is no fee to host.
