Annual Clothing Sale Fundraiser
Over the past ten years, the Bowen Children’s Centre Annual Clothing Sale Fundraiser has grown from a tiny, spontaneous ‘clothing swap’ into an immensely popular community event that’s supported by hundreds of islanders.
Funds raised at the Clothing Sale are invested in Bowen Children’s Centre’s programs for children – the Community Daycare, The After School Club and Bowen Island Preschool – and a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Bowen Island Food Bank as well. The Clothing Sale is ‘green’. It’s philanthropic. It’s useful. It’s fun. And it’s very Bowen.
What about the Knick Knack Nook, you ask? BCC and the KKN have had discussions since before the KKN was built, and have agreed on a plan to collaborate and support one another. The Clothing Sale ‘recycles’ FAR more clothing that the KKN could ever manage, and the two organizations see each other as complementary.
