A new club at Pentucket Regional High School is having a free Community Clothing Swap to help the public save money, connect with their community and reduce consumption and textile waste.
Founder Henry Smith, a senior from Groveland, said the Neighbors United Social Action Club will also be sponsoring other community events also seeks volunteer opportunities where club members can take part. Its first big project is the free Community Clothing Swap, open to residents in all surrounding communities.
“If someone doesn’t have items to swap, we invite them to come anyway and take what they need. We want this to be inclusive and help people,” Smith said. “We believe Clothing Swaps should be more frequent in the region because they help people refresh their wardrobes without spending money and wasting resources.”
Community Clothing Swap takes place Saturday, Oct. 17, from noon to 3 p.m., at Pentucket High School gym, 24 Main St., West Newbury.
Any leftover items will be donated to Ruth’s House in Haverhill.
