Loch Swap Shop
At the Loch Swap Shop our mission is simple: to offer clothing and small household items at no cost, helping students refresh their wardrobes and residences sustainably, affordably—and without the financial stress. Whether you’re budgeting for your first year or packing up after your last finals, we’ve got you covered.
Loch Swap Shop was born from a shared vision to cut down waste and strengthen community bonds on campus. We realized that university life often involves transition—new classes, homes, even seasons—yet many students only need gently used items to thrive. Loch Swap Shop fills that gap, offering essentials in great condition, all donated by caring faculty, students, staff and community members.
What We Offer
- Everyday wear
- Residence Hall decor
- Household Items
- Gowns for Grads Initiative
How You Can Help
Donate: Drop off any gently used items during our operating hours.
Shop: Visit during open hours to find what you need.
Volunteer: Join our friendly team! Help sort donations, set up displays, assist browsing students
How It Works
You do not have to swap an item to shop. Anyone from the campus community can donate and shop items in the Loch Swap Shop.
Join the Movement
Loch Swap Shop is more than a swap—it’s a circle of care. Every donation and every find strengthens our sense of belonging and shows that small acts can make a big difference. Let’s keep campus fresh, united, and resourceful, together.
