Day #126: Give Away Clothes at a Clothes Swap

We left Richmond today and are now camping in Fredericksburg. Last night, Stephanie and Kayla went to a clothes swap that a friend in Richmond organized. They took a few clothing items with them and came home with more than they left with.

Everyone at the clothes swap brought clothes from their families that they no longer needed.

A clothes swap is a great way to give because everyone wins. You and your friends get new clothes and all the remaining clothes that no one claims are donated to a local charity.

Have you ever organized or attended a clothes swap?

Honestly, I never feel like my clothes are good enough to swap. LOL.

I've participated in clothes swap at church but usually i give the clothes, ours and the supply we keep at our house for our grandchildren, to friends or relatives. I like the idea of swapping though. When my kids were growing up they loved hand me downs.

I've never attended a formal clothes swap although I've swapped clothes with other people lots of times before. I think an "official" swap would be fun to attend!

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.

Our Pledge

We hereby pledge:

- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family.
- To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless.
- To value, protect, and advocate for children.
- To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives.
- To bring publicity to good causes and good people.
- To live with intentionality, as if this year was our very last.
- To observe the needs in our country/community – and then do something about them.
- To give – every day.
