AmeIyoba Threads for Change is a student-led sustainable thrift event in collaboration with the Queen’s Black academic society that transforms donated clothing into community impact. In response to the high volume of waste generated during student move out periods, this initiative collects gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories and redistributes them through an affordable pop up thrift sale.

The event promotes sustainable consumption by extending the life cycle of clothing and reducing textile waste, while also making affordable clothing accessible to students. All proceeds support the AmeIyoba Centre for Women and Children, a nonprofit organization focused on advancing access to education, health resources, and community support for women and children.

Through this initiative, we aim to foster a culture of sustainability, community engagement, and social responsibility on campus.

This event is open to all audiences and is free to attend. Registration is not required.

This event is a part of Queen’s University’s participation in #SDGMonthCanada, a nation-wide commitment to mobilizing the SDGs across campuses.
