Residents across Grande Prairie are being invited to drop off new, and gently used clothing as part of the annual Drop and Swap.
The event, run with support from Aquatera Utilities Inc. and Goodwill Industries of Alberta, encourages sustainability and waste reduction by allowing participants to donate gently used clothing and swap for new-to-you items.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says they hope the event encourages community members to engage by either contributing new or gently used clothing, or finding new treasures for their wardrobe.
“By giving pre-loved clothing a new home, we not only reduce landfill waste but also take a simple, powerful step toward a more sustainable and caring community. I encourage everyone to join us in making this year’s event another great success.”
Anything not claimed will be taken to the Goodwill in Grande Prairie, and will be made available for purchase.
Drop offs will be accepted at the Ernie Radbourne Pavilion October 1st-3rd from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., with the swap happening from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on October 4th.
