Do you love thrifting? Find new-to-you clothing at Kindred Homestead Supply’s three day clothing swap.

The downtown Vancouver business is a low-waste, bulk refillery for your home and personal care needs. You bring your own containers and the staff will fill them up for you. In addition to bulk products, the local shop sells low-waste and sustainably made home goods, secondhand and vintage items, and locally made artwork.

This shop also hosts a ton of events throughout the month. One upcoming event gives you a chance to swap your old clothes and find a new outfit as well.

Clothing Swap at Kindred Homestead Supply

Never been to a clothing swap? If you’ve always had an affinity for hand-me-downs, make sure you attend.

In line with Kindred Homestead Supply’s mission, a clothing swap is community event where participants exchange their clothing for something new to them. This is a great way to freshen up your wardrobe while giving your old clothes new life in another person’s closet.

Here’s how the event works:

If you have clothing to exchange, bring your gently used clothes to Kindred Homestead Supply before the event. Clothing will be accepted until March 15. To make it easier for staff to organize the event, bring your items sorted by size and article of clothing.

Next, get ready to attend the event and shop! Feel free to take what you need or want. There will be fitting rooms so you can try on before you take it home.

Keep in mind, you do not need to donate clothing to this event to participate. So if you miss the clothing donation deadline, you are still welcome to attend the event.

This event is free. There is no minimum clothing donation to participate, and no maximum clothing limit when attending. Drop off items if you can and take what you like.

The clothing swap is taking place for three full days in April:

Friday, April 1 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
Saturday, April 2 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Sunday, April 3 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

All clothing that is not taken home during the event will be donated.

While the event is free, Kindred Homestead Supply can use your help keeping it running. If you have extra clothing racks or hangers, bring them with you when you drop off clothes for the exchange. You can also volunteer at the event. If you can donate, consider giving $5-10.

Kindred Homestead Supply is located at 606 Main St. in Vancouver. For more information, visit the website.
