The Great Closet Cleanout has returned to the Okanagan. On Sunday, over 40 tables of ladies’ clothing will be on sale to raise money for local charities.

The Bridge Youth Recovery House will receive a portion of the proceeds and any leftover clothing donated by the ladies will be going to Mamas for Mamas.”

The Great Closet Cleanout happens twice a year in the spring and fall. This year’s spring event will be the first event at regular capacity since the start of the pandemic.
