Clothing Exchange Guidelines

Hi everyone!

I wanted to let you all know about the clothing exchange that will be taking place on June 12th at the OH conference in Rosemont, IL. 

If you have clothes that you would like to pass along to others please bring them to the conference in Rosemont on June 12.  Drop off begins at 10 am.  I will be there along with others to help sort them out.

If you can remember a few things:

1.  Please make sure all clothing is WASHED prior to drop off. 
2.  If you can sort them into trash bags by size before dropping off, that will be a big help.
3.  Exchange will open at 2:00 pm.
4.  People do not have to bring clothing to be able to take clothing home.
5.  Please bring your own bags to transport your "treasures" home with you.
6.  There is no extra charge for ANY of this!  It is included in your ticket!

Thanks!  I am looking forward to making lots of new friends and I hope to see you there!

hiya

this will be my first oh event so i'm not really sure what to expect. at the clothing exchanges are there usually just the larger sizes of clothes or are there also some smaller sizes as well? (i mean like size 00 jeans, xs tops... things like that.)

Good morning!

I have never attended one of these before either, as this is my first time volunteering for this event.

The best answer that I can think of to your question would be, "I don't know...." 
Most people will be bringing clothes that no longer fit them and the first thought would be that they would be clothes that are too big for them now that they have had surgery amd lost weight.    BUT....I suppose that it IS possible that someone might bring very small sizes if they no longer have a use for them or are hoping to exchange with others that have very small clothes.

I'm looking forward to meeting you at the conference!

lol, well i'll bring some of my old clothes to drop off and just check back later in the day to see if there actually ARE any smaller sizes. (doubtful but hey, it's worth a shot i suppose, hehe.) i'm thinking about maybe checking out some thrift/consignment stores while i'm in the area. any good ones that you could recommend?

good luck with the sorting clothes, etc!! i would've volunteered but a) i didn't know about it and b) i'm actually attending the conference with a good friend and it's sorta like a "mini-vacation" for us, lol, so i wouldn't want to leave her high and dry or anything but i'm sure it's gonna be LOTS of fun for y'all getting to meet so many people and everything!! maybe i'll get to go to a conference later on and could volunteer for something like that... it sounds like a lotta work but FUN work

see ya there!
