Do you know about our upcoming Children's Consignment Sale? Here are some specifics on the event if you have opportunity to share it. We'd also invite you to be with us that day if you have the opportunity.
The CCS is next weekend, Friday, September 19, 9:00 AM until 7:00 PM, and Saturday, September 20, 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM (half price) at Trinity on the Hill UMC located at 1330 Monte Sano Ave., Augusta. We're next to Augusta State University between Walton Way & Wrightsboro Road. We typically have over 50,000 items for sale, and we usually have around 200 consignors. We now have 292 consignors registered for this year! In addition to name brand clothes for babies through teens we also have cribs, strollers, changing tables, comforter sets, nursery decor, bicycles, books, dvd, computer games, outside riding toys, and maternity clothes. 60% of the proceeds go to the consignor & 40% of the proceeds benefit Trinity on the Hill church missions. Some of the local partners who benefit from this sale include:

LOVE THE CHILDREN'S CONSIGNMENT SALE !!!!! It serves the consignor, the church and the community. Doesn't get much better than that AND the women and men who organize and run the sale are some of the most dedicated and creative people I have ever known.
God Bless You.
