Common Love: Queer & Clothed
Organized by The Supply Hive
We take care of each other
Queer & Clothed is a monthly pop-up for people of all ages, races, sizes, and abilities to explore/find clothing that is gender-affirming and brings joy. We know there is a need in Des Moines (and beyond) for trans, non-binary, and queer people to access clothing in a judgment-free space that prioritizes accessibility. Join Common Love as we create a beloved community where we cherish and support one another with mutual aid.
Our current fundraising goal is $5,000, with any new funds being donated in 2024 going to new gender affirming items for trans folks like binders, gaffs, underwear, and bras for around. In 2023, we raised a total of $5,214 and purchased 30 binders, 4 pairs of tights, 5 pairs of shoes, 2 shapewear items, 1 packer, 1 skirt, 1 harness, 2 STPs, 2 boxers, 2 pairs of jeans, and a variety of makeup. We also purchased 54 large totes to store clothes and business cards.
