Is there convenient parking available?
Yes, there is plenty of parking,
Will there be fitting rooms?
Yes, fitting rooms will be available.
Can I bring a friend with me during “swapper hours” even if they didn’t donate items?
You may bring only one friend into the boutique during the swapper hours but they will not be able to purchase items until the “shopper hours.”
What happens if you don’t find anything you like?
If at the end of the night you do not find anything suitable for you to take home, all is not lost. You will have had an enjoyable evening and you will have contributed to a worthy cause - helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
If there are any clothes left over where will they go?
Any remaining items will be donated to the Goodwill. Women staying in shelter are provided with vouchers to use at the Goodwill so they will have an opportunity to benefit from your donations as well. Sorry, we cannot return items to original donors.
What happens if I cannot attend?
Unfortunately we cannot issue refunds for unused tickets or credits. But you can transfer tickets and credits to another person. All unused credits will be forfeited.
Can swappers shop during “shopper hours”?
Yes, after the “swapper hours” are finished. The boutique will be cleared of all people for a short period of time; during which signs will be posted indicating the cash prices for items. Swappers will be asked to check their “purchases” with staff and will be provided with a check-in ticket. When the doors reopen both swappers and shoppers can commence shopping.
