Clothing Swap @ Empty Bottle

Start your spring cleaning early this year for a good cause and some recession-approved shopping by participating in the Chicago Clothing Swap. Delve into those closets and deliver all the unwanted goods at any of the drop off locations before March 29th. You will be given a receipt to be cashed in for chips at the Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave) today between 1pm and 4pm during the actual swap. For every one item given, you'll be allowed to take one new item. All the left-over goodies will be donated to Sarah's Circle, a resource for homeless women located in Uptown. For more information, visit the Chicago Clothing Swap's blog.
