Clothing Swap Georgia

👚 CLOTHING SWAP BOGART WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! 👗

We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who came out, swapped, donated, and helped make this event such a success! 💕 And the numbers tell an amazing story…

We started with 137.8 pounds of clothing — some left over from previous swaps, some generously donated by Statham Nutrition, and some from my own family.

Then came the swap!
🛍️ 24 bags came in: 248.2 pounds
👚 22 bags went home with swappers: 176 pounds

And you might be thinking… Wait a minute… that math isn't mathing! 😂

Well, here’s the best part:

❤️ 210 POUNDS of clothing was donated at the end of the event to Area Churches Together Serving (ACTS)!

That means not a single item went to waste. Clothing that could have been sitting in closets or headed for the trash is now going back into the community to help people who need it.

A HUGE thank you to Katie from HOTWORX for being there to help us weigh clothing as it came in and went out. Your time and willingness to serve our community made a big difference, and we are so thankful for you! 🙌

👉 Please go follow HOTWORX and show them some love! Their support of local events and our community deserves to be celebrated. 💪❤️

And finally, if you or someone you know is in need in the Athens/Bogart area, please reach out to Area Churches Together Serving (ACTS). They are a reliable, local resource doing important work right here in our community.

✨ Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us keep clothing in the hands of people who can use it. This is what community looks like! ✨

SOME PEOPLE NEVER STOP SERVING. ❤️
There are people who put on a uniform and serve our country.
And when their military service ends, they find another way to serve.

The Handy Veteran is one of those people.

We are deeply grateful to The Handy Veteran for sponsoring Clothing Swap Bogart and helping us create an event centered around community, generosity, and helping our neighbors.

Their business may be home maintenance and remodeling — repairs, carpentry, masonry, tile, kitchens, bathrooms, rental properties and more — but their support means something bigger to us.

Because behind every local business is a person.

A person who has sacrificed.
A person who has served.
A person who has chosen to continue giving back.
And sometimes we don't say thank you enough.

So today, we want to say it loudly!!!

Your sponsorship helps remind us that community is still alive. That people still care. That sometimes a helping hand is exactly what someone needs.

If you are looking for someone dependable and quality-focused to help with your home or rental property, please consider supporting the people who support our community.

📞 The Handy Veteran: 706-614-3878
📧 [email protected]

👉 Follow The Handy Veteran on Facebook & Instagram.
👉 Share their page.
👉 Tell a friend about their services.
👉 And when you need repairs, maintenance, or remodeling work, give this veteran-owned local business the opportunity to serve you.

Because supporting a local business isn't just about hiring someone.

Sometimes, it's about saying:

"We see what you do. We appreciate you. And we're grateful you're part of our community." ❤️🇺🇸

Thank you, The Handy Veteran, for standing with Clothing Swap Bogart.

And thank you for continuing to serve — in a different uniform, but with the same heart. 🇺🇸❤️

Rule One: Clean It Out to Shut it Up.
Rule Two: Only Buy Clothing That Fits
Rule Three: Release the Shame. That Tag Doesn’t Determine Your Value.

I just found a really special opportunity through Good360, and I would LOVE to take advantage of it for the families we serve! ❤️

Good360 works with 501(c)(3) nonprofits and helps connect them with brand-new products from retailers that choose to donate their excess inventory rather than send perfectly good items to the landfill.

One of the current opportunities is a box of 25 brand-new items of children’s clothing from Burlington! 👕👖🧥

Now, these boxes aren’t free — this box costs $59.50.

But that works out to only about $2.40 per brand-new item!

Honestly, that’s less than what many thrift stores charge these days, and these are brand-new clothes that can go directly to children in families who need a little extra help.

And with the holidays coming up, I think this could be such a blessing. 🎄❤️

I would LOVE to be able to send brand-new clothing to children this holiday season instead of only sending gently used items.

There’s another reason I love this opportunity: these clothes are being kept out of the landfill.

Stores like Burlington can choose to donate perfectly good clothing through organizations like Good360 rather than throw it away. While I certainly wish these boxes were completely free, they are still offered to nonprofits at a significant discount — and I think this is an incredible opportunity to turn $59.50 into 25 brand-new pieces of clothing for kids.

So here’s the goal:

🎯 If we can raise $59.50, I will order this box!

You can help through:

💚 Cash App: $ClothingSwapGeorgia

💚 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/4041bcb3b

Even a few dollars can help us reach the goal!

And PLEASE HURRY! ⏰ These boxes don’t stay available for long, so if we want this one, we need to raise the money and order it while it’s still available.

Let’s turn $59.50 into 25 brand-new pieces of clothing for children who need them. ❤️

Thank you for helping us keep saying YES to families in need! 🙏

Every donation makes a difference.
