APPLETON — The Laundry Gal in Appleton is organizing a K-12 Back-to-School Junior Clothing Swap on Saturday, Aug., 10, 2025 at the Boys & Girls Club of Appleton for families in the Appleton and Kaukauna areas.

According to The Laundry Gal owner Ravyn Heuer, families can bring gently used clothing (Youth XS through Junior sizes) and exchange them, one-for-one, for “new-to-you” pieces.

It’s a sustainable, budget-friendly, and fun way to prep for back-to-school season.
