BACK-TO-SCHOOL CLOTHING SWAP
August 18th, 2018
Paying for clothes is tough! It's hard for our pocket books to keep up with how quickly our children grow and with how hard they like to play. Thankfully, Stay Litt is here to help relieve some stress, specifically for families with low-income and families of color.
Please join us for a free clothing swap Saturday, August 18th, from 4 - 6 PM. We will have clothes for all ages, but we're specifically hoping to have plenty of children's clothes (sizes for children aged 2 - 18). Free refreshments will also be provided!
Please press RSVP button below to find out the details of the event, or contact us at Staylittpdx@gmail.com if you'd like to donate clothing or funds to help host a great event for our community.
