donation guidelines

Help us effectively run Radical Clothes Swap by adhering to our donation guidelines.

How to Donate Your Clothing to RCS

---

We only accept donations during the first 2 hours of an event.

Due to the overwhelming amount of clothing donations we receive at each event, we must limit the donation window to the first 2 hours.

We will accept up to 10 clothing items per person per swap.

We appreciate all the donations we get from our community members, however, we will only accept up to 10 clothing items per person. No shoes or accessories. Seasonal clothing is strongly encouraged.

Gently used clothing is strongly preferred.

In order for our swappers to get the most out of this swap, we ask that you please donate gently-used clothing. We cannot accept any clothing with holes/tears, clothing that is falling apart, or clothing that is too worn out. All clothes must be in wearable condition.

Pre-clean your donations.

The clothing you donate goes straight to our racks, where our community can take them home immediately. It’s essential that the clothes you donate do not have bad smells, stains, or pet hair.

Help keep our swap free.

We pride ourselves in giving FREE CLOTHES FOR ALL, but it comes with a small cost. If you can afford to donate funds to our swap, we accept cash donations and digital donations HERE. These donations help us with operating costs: transportation, storage, and other essentials we need to run Radical Clothes Swap. We also sell tote bags, candles, and other small items that you can buy at any one of our swaps.
