S.W.A.P is a non-profit social enterprise responsible for the annual Take Off Your Clothes event; a giant clothing swap for the sole purpose of donating to charity.

Launched in 2009, S.W.A.P now has chapters in Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto, Northapton (MA), Boston and Lausanne, Switzerland.

The S.W.A.P team is run entirely by volunteer effort and since its launch in 2009, the event has exchanged over 22 000 pieces of clothing as well as 18 000 garments to local charities for individuals and families in need.

October 16, Calgary will host the second Take Off Your Clothes” clothing swap event and the team are currently looking for volunteers for the event day as well as sorters and drivers before the event.

All volunteers will be included in a draw for various gifts certificates to various local businesses.
