“In all the years we have been holding the Everything for Children Consignment Sales, we have always received a tremendous positive response from the community,” said Lisa Springer, director of program ministries at St. Andrew UMC. “Local families greatly appreciate the opportunity to purchase quality, gently used clothing, furniture, and other children’s items from local families who have taken good care of the things we allow to be put on sale.” The sale will feature items such as:
- Spring and Summer clothing in sizes infant – 16.
- Junior and Maternity in GREAT CONDITION
- Complete games and puzzles.
- Toys, books, DVDs, CDs, and bikes in good condition.
- Baby equipment and children’s furniture (no "drop-side" cribs will be accepted).

“We have stringent quality control measures in place to ensure that items sold at our consignment sale are in excellent condition,” Springer added. “So everyone who shops here can have confidence that they will get good quality as well as great bargains on the clothing, furniture, and other items that they purchase here. For example, we test all items for lead content to minimize the danger that children could be exposed to this harmful substance.”
