To volunteer for that event go here: <a href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/lzRgu\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/lzRgu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the items\u00a0 that have been donated: men\u2019s dress shirts, jackets, dresses, blouses, skirts, polos, T-shirts, undershirts, cargo pants, jeans, shoes, kids clothing and accessories such as sunglasses, purses and belts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donations for future events can be dropped off in Room 8201. Acceptable items include clean, gently used clothing items for all ages, shoes and household items like furniture, cups and rugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe experience [is] like walking through a consignment shop,\u201d Coffman said. \u201c[People] can just come in, browse and then leave. It&#8217;s a very comfortable experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At each event a video aimed at educating attendees on the harm of fast fashion and the importance of sustainability plays in the background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get clothing at the Threads of Change participants don\u2019t need to donate or be referred. They can simply show up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffman hopes the project encourages people to reconsider their clothing choices and develop a sense of community and willingness to share with others in need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAccessibility and sustainability go hand-in-hand, and I think that\u2019s what Threads of Change really offers our community,\u201d said Fiona Machado, who volunteered at the first Threads of Change event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, contact Pershadsingh at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:ppershad@mdc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ppershad@mdc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or (305) 237-0631, or Coffman at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:kcoffman@mdc.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kcoffman@mdc.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or (305) 237-2127.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click<\/span><\/i><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=4fc6146412415baee32007fd7&amp;id=b5cd3712dc\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, The Hammerhead.
