Children grow out of their clothes and toys so quickly that they barely have enough time to break them in. Have a play clothes and toy sale with items donated from community members. Parents will have the opportunity to purchase play clothes and games for their children to use in their new playspace!
Prep Steps:
1. Send flyers asking for donations of “gently used” children’s and maternity clothes, toys, sporting equipment, and furniture.
2. Determine where the sale will take place. A parking lot or a gym is ideal.
3. Inventory all the items to be sold and their prices.
4. Recruit enough volunteers so you have several working in each area.
5. Advertise. Advertise. Advertise.
Materials Needed:
1. Clothes and other items to sell.
2. Inventory list.
3. Cash box.
4. Flyers that include a donation request
Helpful Hints:
• You may be able to obtain more items if you have your sale over a fall or spring weekend. Many people are cleaning their houses and closets at this time.
• If your event is outside, have a plan for inclement weather.
• Bags, receipts, and gift tags are all nice touches to add to your sale!
