The newly formed Penticton Neighbourhood Association (PNA) is having its first event – a clothing swap on Sunday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Penticton Seniors’ Drop-in Centre located at 2965 South Main Street.
“As a member of the Penticton Neighbourhood Association, we believe in bringing the community together and promoting sustainability. What better way to do that than a clothing swap,” said Nicolas Stulberg, president of the Penticton Neighbourhood Association.
This free event is open to the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring any clean, undamaged clothing that someone else might enjoy and pick out some new-to-you garments that still have a lot of life in them. Not only is this a great opportunity to refresh your wardrobe for free, but it also allows for a more environmentally conscientious way of consuming fashion.
“We’re excited to see the community come together for this event and hope to make it an annual occurrence,” said Stulberg.
Attendees can arrange to drop off their garments ahead of the clothing swap by emailing ourneighbourhoodpenticton@gmail.com or bring them on the day of the event.
