'Kids Stuff Sale' to Benefit Lakeville's Early Childhood Program

Lakeville's Early Childhood Family Education Advisory Council has announced the date of the  where parents can get great deals on children's items, consignors get 70 percent of the cash from items sold, and the ECFE program gets the rest of the proceeds.

The sale will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, at .

Sale items will include all seasons of maternity and children’s clothing (infant through size 14), toys, books, videos, and baby equipment. A $1 admission fee per adult will be charged until 10:00 a.m. Merchandise will be sold at half price from 11:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and a $5 bag sale will follow from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Cash or check will be accepted.

The ECFE Advisory Council is seeking consignors and volunteers for the Kids’ Stuff Sale. Consignors will earn 70 percent from the sale of their items and avoid the hassle of organizing and advertising their own garage sale. Consignors and volunteers may also pre-shop the sale on Friday evening at the exclusive pre-sale event. Volunteer for only four hours and enter the pre-sale first.

Donations of kids stuff will also be accepted this year—see the website for details—and the deadline to register as a consignor or to volunteer is Wednesday, April 18.

All proceeds from the Kids’ Stuff Sale will go directly to the ECFE Advisory Council, which will use all money earned to purchase educational materials for the Lakeville Area ECFE program and classrooms. No for profit group benefits from this sale. ECFE is a Lakeville Area School District Community Education program that strengthens families with young children through education and support.
