Clothing Swap FAQs

Everyone should be receiving an Evite to our Clothing Swap on January 25 at 7pm. We hope everyone can come! It's a great opportunity to freshen up your wardrobe for free!

Here is some further information about the swap:

What do I bring?

• Either an appetizer or dessert to share.
• If you would like to participate in the clothing swap, please bring between three and ten items with you that you no longer want. The items should be clean and in good condition (i.e., no stains, rips, holes, or broken zippers). In addition to clothing, feel free to bring shoes and accessories like purses, scarves, and jewelry! This swap is for women’s items only.
• A bag to carry home your treasures in.
• If you just made a Goodwill run or don’t want to participate in the swap, please join us anyway for food and fun!

How does it work?

Each person will get to bring home at least as many pieces as they brought. We will begin by eating and socializing, and you will have the opportunity to browse the items and try things on if you want. Then we will pick names and each person will have the opportunity to choose up to three items to take home. After the first round, everyone can shop again from the remaining items. Any leftover items will be donated (or if the items you brought weren’t chosen by anyone and you wish to take them home again, you are welcome to do so.)

If you have any further questions, please contact Natalie B!

New Year, New Semester of VSPC MOPS!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will have our first meeting of the new semester this Friday, January 10. Two of our steering team members, Andria Monson and Amy Pickens, will be sharing their stories with us. As usual, childcare opens at 9am and we will begin at 9:15am.

If you haven't yet registered for the new semester, please remember to do so. We have an exciting semester in store! We have planned some neat crafts for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, guest speakers on topics like parenting and relationships, and more! Please join us!

If you need a scholarship, we have a few available thanks to our successful fundraiser in November. Email us at andria.mops@yahoo.com or talk to Sara Hyun on Friday.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!
