Purusing the racks and racks of great merchandise, it's easy to forget that The Clothes Exchange is a fundraiser...and that's good. We want our guests to have a pleasant shopping experience, a fun night out with their friends and to go home with a few items they really love. The fact that the money you spend at The Clothes Exchange supports local nonprofits working to improve women's lives, is really just icing on the cake. Shopping for bargains and a cause, what could be better?

When you walk into The Clothes Exchange, you'll forget your at a fundraiser. You'll be greeted by a Clothes Exchange volunteer who will give you the lay of the land and turn you loose to shop.

If you are interested in new clothes from our retail partners, head for the racks featuring first quality merchandise retailers including Sweet Lady Jane, Monelle, Marilyn's, ECCO, Common Threads, Marilyn's, Whim, Hydrangea, Well Heeled and Stella. 

If it's ISIS your after, check out the racks and racks of ISIS gear. Looking for shoes? Head over the the Stella boutique where you'll find brand new shoes at Clothes Exchange prices. If browsing is your thing, clothes are sorted by type and size and every item is priced as marked.
