Because school is expensive and more things should be free.
The South House is having another clothing swap! Bring your (gently used) clothing. As always, we welcome and encourage a wide variety of sizes, styles, etc.
We’ll also be collecting donations of non-perishable food items to help stock our community cupboards. The SoHo’s cupboards are full of food that can be used or taken by anyone who needs it.
Donations can be brought to the event or dropped off at the South House between 10-2 starting next week (Monday, Aug 26th).

The South House presents InDesign for Activists. While we aren’t InDesign experts, we do use the program all the time to keep costs down and make beautiful buttons, posters, stickers, pamphlets, newsletters, workshop manuals and zines.
This workshop is designed as a skill-share that will cover InDesign basics that will help you make all the materials your small organization/initiative needs.
* If you have a computer with InDesign feel free to bring it along, but it’s not necessary!
