Clothing+Swap



As an independent project in the ACA, myself and four other ACA students organized a community clothing swap event in order to benefit the Harbor House Domestic Abuse Shelter. Primarily, our goals were to receive clothing and funding donations for Harbor House and promote sustainability to the community. Since this was not a monitored school project, it was important for us to establish roles among our group and be proactive in maintaining our organization. With the help of a community project coordinator, our group had to communicate with business's to receive donations (Goodwill and Harbor House), establish a location for our event, create a logo and poster to advertise, distribute advertisements, communicate with public schools to get them involved, organize days for the community to conviently drop off their donations, and finally work the event itself. Below is an image of our advertisment that we printed on paper bags to advocate sustainability.
