🌱 Take One – Leave One

Growing Mutual Aid Together

At Companion Planting Counselling, we believe in community care that’s practical, affirming, & accessible.

Our Take One – Leave One Closet is an ongoing zero- to low-costclothing/accessory swap

(only cost - shipping, if you’re unable to pick up or drop off your item/s in person)

You’re warmly welcomed to take what you need!

Then, when you’re able, to leave something in return, so the closet can continue to grow & support others!

This initiative is part of our commitment to community aid and mutual support, creating sustainable cycles of care & accessibility
.

Let’s continue to grow our mutual aid garden — together. 🌿

🆓 No-Cost

All items are free as part of our community initiative to build mutual aid.

If you’re picking up, there’s no cost overall.

If you need your item shipped for pick up or drop off, you’ll only pay the exact cost of shipping.
