The annual Women’s Clothing Exchange at Germantown Jewish Centre, this year on Sunday, Jan. 29, is an annual community and charitable event that’s also a lot of fun. That makes it a win-win-win!

Every year, the community is asked to donate women’s clothing and accessories that are in good condition, but which they no longer use. (Donations will be accepted from Sunday, Jan. 22, to Friday, Jan. 27, at GJC, 400 W. Ellet St.)

A large group of volunteers then sorts them all and arrays them into a giant bazaar. When the doors open at 11 a.m., women from all over pay $20 to “shop” and take home whatever they like.

It’s a festive atmosphere, with music, friends and a place for trying things on. It also raises thousands of dollars for important social justice work.

This year, proceeds will be divided between HIAS, an organization that supports refugees; POWER, a Philadelphia-based interfaith group that works for social and economic justice; and the GJC Women’s Club.

Anything that’s left over is donated to Whosoever Gospel Mission in Germantown for their thrift stores. Whosoever works with people who have been homeless and struggled with addictions with help to get clean and sober and with vocational training.

It really IS a win-win-win!
