About CCC
Children's Clothing
Consignment Sale is a semi-annual sale of children's clothes,
toys, furniture, baby equipment, and maternity items. The sale
was started in 2002 by Laura Watson and Tess Murphy two stay
at home moms trying to clothe our ever growing children and
has grown into much more than that. Over 900 families
filling +30,000 square feet of space are turning their
children's "gently used items" into cash while at the same
time meeting their own children's clothing needs at affordable
prices.
We started
Children's Clothing Consignment Sale to help us clothe
our own growing families. Part of why we decided to do this
was that we weren't the only ones that would benefit from it.
It helps families clothe constantly growing kids by giving
them one stop bargain shopping and, it is an affordable way
for them to give their children some of the name brand items
that would otherwise be beyond their budget.
God has richly
blessed our efforts and we have grown faster than we ever
expected. Each sale is bigger and better than the one before.
Thank you to all our Sellers and Volunteers who have supported
and helped to make these event successful each time. Our
prayer is that God will continue to bless each and every sale
and that families will continually benefit from CCC.
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
CCC
LIVING
ALTERNATIVES
One of the wonderful things about CCC is that we
are able to help several local charities with donations of the
leftover items. We have donated to local churches as well as
larger organizations such as Goodwill, Salvation Army and
Living Alternatives.
CCC has donated the
maternity and infant items to Living Alternatives from every
sale. The following is an excerpt from a letter we recently
received from them.
"Laura and
Tess,
We extend our
deepest heartfelt thanks for allowing the crisis Pregnancy
Center of Living Alternative the opportunity to receive the
baby items & maternity clothes for use in our Building
Blocks program. The young mothers enjoy learning how to
provide the best care for their children, and they really
appreciate the donated items to supplement their restricted
budgets."
