Read below to see how you can help. If you have any donations please drop them off at my house or leave a comment for me to come pick up items. If any of you want to go down and shop on Friday, I'd love to go w/you as well. I know this is a long post but basically, if you have any clothes hanging around, that you don't want anymore, please let me know. The money raised at this swap meet will go toward building an orphanage in Africa.
What is the Love Swap? The Love Swap is a Swap Meet Style fundraiser that has been created to raise money for the non-profit organization Mothers Without Borders. Go to www.motherswithoutborders.org to learn more about their founder, her cause, and the wonderful things they are doing to alleviate the suffering of AIDS orphans in Zambia. We are collecting clothing and toys that will be sold at GREAT swap-meet style prices and all of the proceeds will go to help MWB build a school for over 600 Zambian orphans! When? Friday, Feb 27th 10:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m. Where? Noah’s (644 N. 2000 W. Lindon).
How can I help? There are MANY ways you can assist us in our cause. The simplest way to help out is to go through your closet (and your kids’ closets) and purge all of the things that you no longer use or wear, and turn your donations in to the person who gave you this flyer, or come deliver your donations to us at Noah’s on Thursday, Feb 26 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Items we would like donated:
*Hangers – Please donate all clothing on hangers (if possible) this can be any type of hanger, but it would really help us organize and display the clothes properly and we would rather not spend the money to purchase hangers as this would take away from the funds that we want to go directly to the children. (Jeans and pants do not need hangers.)
*Women’s clothing and accessories: gently used clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, jackets, scarves, etc.
*Infant’s & Children’s clothing: No stains or tears please.
*Toys: Clean out those playrooms! Please polish them up so they are nice and ready to go on the day of the sale.
We’d like to have all donations collected and then HELD until the day before the sale. We will be at Noah’s (644 N. 2000 W. Lindon, UT )to receive donations from 10-6 the entire day before the sale. The sale will be held on Friday, February 27th. For new updates, you can get added to our email list by sending an email to serveutah@live.com this way we can send you the invitation flyer that will be used to INVITE friends and family to shop at the sale.
You can help even further by volunteering to be:
Collectors: distribute "collection" flyers to everyone you know. Collect clothing from friends, family, and neighbors, then hold on to those donations until the day before the swap, and deliver them to Noah’s between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 26. This is probably the most needed position, especially right now! We want this to be a GREAT sale, so we need as many donations as possible.
Organizers: Help us sort, hang, and organize the clothing and accessories the day before the swap. (Thursday, Feb. 26 from 10-6) This is a BIG job, and we need all the help we can get! Feel free to just show up and go to work.
Promoters: Tell everyone you know to come out and shop! The prices will be wonderful and the clothes will be great! Promotion strategies: Send a mass email to EVERYONE in your address book.(you can get a pre-formatted email sent to you by requesting one at serveutah@live.com Invite everyone you know to come out and shop. You can print out and distribute flyers, email the flyer to everyone in your address book, post the flyer on your blog, and encourage all of your readers to post the flyers on their blogs as well!
I would love to donate some old hammy downs of Josie's. I'll bring them up and you can decide if you want them or not. Way to give back Hannah.
