Meet The Hosts

What started as an idea to host a clothing swap, initiated by Tania Maduro, quickly grew into something more. After connecting with others who had hosted similar events, the vision expanded through collaboration and community support.

With The Garde Arts Center opening their doors to host a space that welcomed both the community and local youth, the first event came to life, and now, we’re entering our fourth year!!
 

Thank you so much for being part of it.
