Chayah Movement Philly Clothing Swap with FABSCRAP

Join us for a clothing swap at the BOK! Cycle out your gently loved clothes, shoes, and accessories for something new-to-you this season. Bring in pieces you no longer wear, instead of sending them to a landfill, make a deal to swap your goods out with other pre-loved styles! Pieces should be in good used condition – please be sure your items are clean and wearable.

Chayah Movement is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on equipping the next generation of fashion professionals with ethical and sustainable practices through workforce and leadership development.

They recruit Advocates-In-Training (AITs), between the ages of 16-24, place them with a sustainable fashion company and provide them with the tools to prepare them to make a positive impact within the fashion industry.

FABSCRAP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit working to end commercial textile “waste.” Your donations and purchase of workshop materials from our online store support our work and allows us to continue hosting these workshops. Stay in touch with us at fabscrap.org and on Instagram at @fab_scrap.
