For this event, we did not set a limit on how many items you can bring/take. We are just asking everyone to be respectful of each other and do not bring or take a carload. Take only what you know you really can use. 6. What if I don’t find anything that I want to take? We are allowing you to go through and “shop” again later in the day if you choose. There will be a Standby line and we will let folks go through again as long as there is space for social distancing. 7. What if I just want to donate items and not take anything? That is totally fine! We have been collecting items for donations so there will be a selection at the beginning, and we are also inviting a few families in need without requiring them to bring items.

You can follow From the Future Vintage on Facebook or Instagram and you can fill out the sign-up sheet at the event to be notified by email for upcoming SWAP events.

We will begin accepting items early at 9am. If you want to “shop”, you will need to come back between 10am-4pm. We will not be accepting any items after 3pm. 11. How late can I drop off items on the day of the event. We will stop taking items at 3pm and reserving the last hour for “shopping” only. 12. What can I do with stained or ripped clothing and linens that are “unswappable”? There will be a textile recycling collection at this event so be sure to clean out your closet! Pack up all your “unswappable” items separately from the good stuff so we can quickly sort your items at your appointment. We can accept clothing, linens, and shoes for textile recycling. 13. How is a clothing and housewares SWAP Eco-Friendly? Every time you opt for something used instead of buying new, you are helping to save the Earth! You are conserving resources, preventing pollution and diverting items from the landfill! Swapping your things also saves you money! We are looking forward to seeing you at the SWAP!
