Swap and Shop at the WINGS Boutique
Bring your gently used (clean and ready to wear) adult women’s clothes to swap! If possible, bring them on hangers. Accessories, jewelry, shoes, purses and belts are also acceptable.

Collection will be Sunday, April 24th-Wednesday, April 27th. We are gathering items in advance so our “shopping area” will be attractive and well-organized. Items may be left at church on/near the coat rack across from the kitchen.  Please sign in and indicated number of donated items.

Tickets for items: On Saturday, a ticket will be handed out for each clothing item, pair of shoes or accessory you brought. Each person attending the clothing swap will also get 5 free tickets. Additional tickets will be available for $0.50 each with donations going to Wheeler Mission.
