The swap is a solution to the constant struggle many students face of wanting new clothes but not having the money to buy them.
Members of the club purged their closets over Thanksgiving break and brought their old clothes to exchange for new clothes.
Anyone was encouraged to participate in the event, as it was advertised on Twitter and CrimsonConnect.
There was no limit or equal-value swap, meaning that if students came with two articles of clothing, they could leave with five, or vice versa.
The focus of the event was generosity and giving back, which tied in with the holiday season.
clothing was given to Attire to Aspire, an Indiana County organization that helps get women back into the work force.
Treasurer of the club, Katie Waite (junior, fashion merchandising) expressed that she was very pleased with the outcome of the event.
“I’m surprised with how many people outside of the club came to participate,” Waite said. “It’s nice to see new faces here.”
Many students gave positive feedback about the clothing swap, including club member Bonnie Kautzman (sophomore, fashion merchandising).
“It’s a cool way to get new
clothing if you don’t have money to go to the mall,” Kautzman said, “and it’s a way to make new outfits and meet new people.”
Alexis Hagelgans (junior, chemistry) also noted the coolness of the idea.
“I didn’t even know what the event was until I talked to my roommate, but I’m glad I came,” Hagelgans said.
“It’s cool to give away while getting new clothes, and it’s a good way to recycle.”
Kaleigh Gilmer (sophomore, nursing) came prepared for the event.
“I was really looking forward to the event,” Gilmer said. “I brought a garbage bag full of clothes that I was intending to give to
Goodwill anyways. It’s just a fun way to donate, and I’m glad it’s going to a better place.”
For anyone that missed out on the clothing swap, another will be held after spring break.
