(SALEM, Ore.) - The University of Phoenix Oregon Campus is working with local non-profit Salem Shares to host a Clothing and School Supplies Swap at their Salem location on Saturday, Oct. 2 from 12pm-2pm. The event is open to the public.

Salem Shares was founded by University of Phoenix students Amy Coven and Tina Stringfield. The working single mothers started the non-profit as a way to give back to the Salem-Keizer community.
