The Clothing Exchange is a free event. It takes in clean new and used clothes from people, folds them, sorts them, and then allows those in need to fill up empty bags. People leave with a whole new wardrobe of new to them clothes that they love. It is a very simple concept, and it works.This exchange is for many different kinds of people: Parents with quickly growing children, working class people looking for business attire for interviews, green minded teens looking for that perfect outfit, bi-pass patients, expecting mothers, people new to the neighborhood, and even people who have lost clothing because of crime or disaster.Besides the fun atmosphere and great vibe, the Clothing Exchange builds community and excitement around the spirit of giving and sharing the Love of Jesus.After the Clothing Exchange, the remaining clothes are sorted and packed up for several different charities who use the clothes to help those who find themselves in the greatest of need throughout the year.How the Clothing Exchange works:1) Dig Deep and clean out your house. Dig in your closet (and your kid’s closets) for good clothes, shoes and accessories that have been out grown or just aren’t worn any more. Go through your kitchen and pack up those unused items.- We will not be accepting any of the following items: Books, movies, knickknacks or glassware.2) Make sure all clothes are clean and free of dirt, smells, and pet hair.3) Put the clothes in bags or boxes (please label boxes and bags with gender and sizes)4) Bring your items to 302 Crain Hwy South Glen Burnie, MD 21060, between October 28th – November 11th 10am-3pm weekdays at the church office and Sundays regular service times in the foyer.5) Furniture donations are welcome but must be dropped off in the parking lot on the day of event. 6) At the Exchange you will be given a bag according to your family size. Additional bags may be purchased for $5.7) Walk away with a whole new wardrobe of stuff you love! Easy as pie, and FREE!
