Merritt Island Native Brings Growing Clothing Swap Charity Home for Summer Event

- Advertisement -

MERRITT ISLAND, FL – A fast-growing community charity founded by a Merritt Island native is returning home for a special summer event focused on giving back, sustainability, and spreading kindness—one outfit at a time.

Swap & Support is a nonprofit initiative launched by Breanne Wolfenbarger… and it has grown into a multi-state movement. The mission is simple: reduce clothing waste, support local communities, and create a welcoming space for people to give and receive—no strings attached.

“I started Swap & Support after seeing how many clothes were going to waste while others couldn’t afford the basics,” said Wolfenbarger. “I wanted to create something simple and welcoming, where people could give, receive, and feel good doing it.”

Now operating across Florida and Alabama, Swap & Support hosts five clothing swaps and one book swap annually, helping thousands of items find new homes rather than ending up in landfills. The charity also donates overflow clothing to other local nonprofits and shelters.

Merritt Island holds special significance to the organization, as Wolfenbarger’s hometown. The charity now hosts two seasonal swaps a year on the island—one in summer and one in winter.

This summer’s swap will take place on Saturday, June 21, and is free and open to the public. Participants are invited to bring gently used clothing to exchange or simply come take what they need. No donation is required to participate.

The event is proudly sponsored by Urban Defense Advisory Group, a local business specializing in emergency preparedness, Stop the Bleed training, and self-defense education. Swap & Support encourages attendees and the community to support local businesses making a difference.

“Our last Merritt Island swap helped us surpass 1,000 items swapped in 2024,” said Wolfenbarger. “We’re hoping for another amazing turnout—and even more opportunities to give back.”

🚨 Trump Administration Announces it won't Tap Emergency Funds to Pay Food Aid (SNAP)The Trump administration has announced it will not use emergency funds to pay for November’s SNAP (food stamp) benefits while the government remains unfunded. The decision means that unless Congress passes a funding bill soon, more than 42 million Americans could miss the assistance they rely on to buy food. Speaker Mike Johnson has cancelled all votes for the remainder of October. A memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture explains that the agency’s contingency fund is not legally available to cover regular monthly benefits without an approved federal budget. However, critics argue that this is a policy choice rather than a strict legal restriction, and that the administration could act to prevent widespread hardship.The move comes as the federal government shutdown continues into late October, with no immediate sign of a budget agreement. If the stalemate drags on, states will be unable to process or distribute November benefits, leaving millions of families, children, veterans, and seniors without critical food assistance.Advocates say this could become one of the most severe social impacts of the shutdown, affecting grocery stores, food suppliers, and local economies as well. Others believe the decision is meant to pressure Congress to reach a deal rather than relying on stopgap emergency measures.Should the government use emergency funds to keep food on the table for struggling Americans, or should this remain Congress’s responsibility to fix?#SNAP #FoodAssistance #GovernmentShutdown #USDA #TrumpAdministration #HungerCrisis #SpaceCoastRocket ...
