Update your wardrobe, recycle and support the Redwood Shelter!
It’s easy:
- Clear out your closet of fashions that aren't "you" or don’t fit
- Bring your nice, clean, gently used items to the shop anytime between May 1 – May 8
- Come back May 9 to choose fashions from other people’s closets for only $1 per item
- Be chic and happy knowing that 100% of proceeds will go to the Redwood
From 4 – 6 pm, get a free body type analysis from creative image consultant Wendy Woods of THE REFINERY (www.therefinery.ca) to help you find items that do fit!
This swap includes women's / teens' clothing and accessories only.

Mother's Day Clothing Swap
Sat, May 9, 2 - 6What a response!
Wise Daughters received a mountain of fabulous fashions and raised far more money than anticipated for The Redwood Shelter. Because we had much more clothing than we could even display, there will be a Part 2. On June 13 from 9 - 2, as part of the Junction-wide yard sale, we'll put out all the rest of the women's fashion treasures. This time, just for fun, it'll cost $10 for all you can stuff into the biggest Wise Daughters paper bag. Once again, 100% of the proceeds will benefit the shelter.
