Gives + Receives is a conscious circulation project hosted by Jade, @hiinoon centering sustainability, inclusivity, + acts of service. Circular flow is one of the highest forms of sustainability. Together we can alter our habits and others views around consumption and divert our resources from landfills through clothing and goods swap meets. All leftover clothing will be donated to a local organization that freely gives to unhoused peoples and low income families.
Gives + Receives is the only space in our community providing free gently loved clothes or goods provided by our members to anyone and everyone.
