Swapping instead of shopping for kids' fundraiser

Winnipeggers took it all off for kids Saturday at the second annual 'Take Your Clothes Off' clothing swap.

It's a fundraiser for Kids Help Phone, a free 24-hour online and telephone counselling service for youth.

Participants exchanged their unwanted clothing with others.

Early bird tickets to the event sold out. It started at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m.

Organizer Patty Anne Falconer-Lepage said a lot of people came with friends.

"You know, a lot of people come because they want to give back," she said. "But then for a lot of people too, it's a frugality. We Winnipeggers are famous for our frugality."

Falconer-Legage said leftover clothing will go to local charities.
