We welcome your support - from donating gently-used clothing and funds, volunteering, and sharing upcoming exchanges with your community. We also partner with local organizations to support events and ensure donations are shared with those in need.
Hey there. We’re glad you’re here.
We gladly accept gently-used, washed clothes and accessories on the day of our events. Due to the volume of donations received, we cannot pre-accept donations outside of the event days. Take a look at our donation guide.

Become a community partner
Community Exchange for Change proudly works with local organizations to ensure our events have the most positive impact on people and the planet. Among others, we’ve partnered with:
Men's Shed
CE4C had the incredible luck to partner with national non-profit Men's Shed to design and build our clothing racks for events. Getting to meet with people who are working "shoulder to shoulder" to improve their lives, and the lives in their community was incredibly gratifying.
Neighbors Clothes Closet
Most recently CE4C passed on clothing and accessories to Neighbors Clothes Closet in South St. Paul. By partnering in this way, any un-shopped merchandise from events gets a new chapter in their store. We look forward to working with other community organizations to interrupt the standard clothing cycle, and help those who need it most.
