Clothing Swap FAQ!

Your freshly laundered, good condition clothing and accessories of all sizes, colours and styles!

Do I need to donate to participate?

Donations are not required to participate, but this is a great time to peruse your closet and try and find a new home for things you no longer wear/use!

When/where do I drop off donations?

All members of the Queen’s community are welcome to bring donations to 4D, or to Yellow House (207 Stuart, 3rd floor). They must be clearly labelled for “4D Clothing Swap”! Drop offs need to be by Thursday February 19th at noon!

Need a break from studying? We will have a coffee/tea/hot beverage bar and sandwiches on hand, and we'll have puzzles on the go!
