Item & Clothing Exchange
End of Season Item & Clothing Exchange - Monday, October 20th!
Join us for the ultimate community swap at the Community Hall! We’re transforming the space into an exchange center where you can give and take items like clothes, shoes, hats, accessories, books, makeup, nail polish, gloves, scarves, coats, bags, belts, toys, and more.
Island residents and employees are invited to participate! No used socks or underwear, please.
Enjoy snacks and drinks while you browse and exchange. Plus, all unclaimed or unwanted items at the end of the event will be donated to the Hope Chest, so nothing goes to waste!
