Host an ‘Exchange for Change’ party – have fun, share with friends and re-vamp your wardrobe for next to nothing. You’ll be helping Oxfam Australia to stamp out global poverty at the same time.
Exchange for Change runs 1-30 September 2009. It is a new fundraising event which asks women to host clothes swap parties to raise money for those less fortunate. Women get together anytime or anywhere across Australia throughout September to swap clothing items that are no longer loved, wanted or worn. Voluntary donations from the events will go directly to Oxfam Australia’s invaluable work both in Australia and overseas.
This is shopping made fun for fashionistas with a conscience. With Exchange for Change, women can experience the thrill of shopping without hurting the hip pocket.
“As the credit crunch hits all of us, frugality is fashion forward and thrift is the new cool. We are simply asking women to simply rid themselves of clothes that they no longer want and get a new look for next to nothing. Supporters can also feel good also know that they’re helping to provide a brighter future for those less fortunate,” says Exchange for Change founder Kris McIntyre.
