Fall 2011 Children's Consignment Sale

We host 2 seasonal children's consignment sales each year. Usually the church will have around 300 consignors, too many quality items to count, and a gym and fellowship hall full of great deals. The consignor gets 60% and the church benefits with 40% of the proceeds going to mission. We're recruiting quality consignors now who have clothes, furniture, toys, electronics, etc. that need to get out of the house! Great selling items are offered for baby, children, and teenagers. FYI I've noticed in recent sales that we get a LOT of baby and small child items but less and less clothing for older children and teenagers. People with older children and teens with quality items should consider consigning as we don't receive as much of that clothing and it sales, sales, sales!

See Fall 2011 CCS for more information that will answer all of your questions and to sign up to consign.

Help yourself and help mission for the WIN/WIN!

Spring Children's Consignment Sale March 11 & 12

It's that time again! This is the week we stage our church consignment sale. It's a huge affair, takes up a 20,000 square foot building, involves 250 consignors, plus hundreds upon hundreds of volunteers. This isn't the old church yard sale where everyone shows up on a Saturday morning and uses a magic marker and masking tape. We use barcodes to track everything and are computerized for checkout. While most of our consignors and shoppers are from Augusta and the immediate area we also have many who drive an hour or more to be with us. 40% of the proceeds benefit our mission partners, plus it's a great community outreach as we meet so many neighbors and offer an "open door" that helps us build relationships with a great variety of people.

I'll post some pictures later in the week.

Fall Children's Consignment Sale

Thank you to the local newspaper for picking up our story!

Consignment Sale

Fall Children's Consignment Sale

Imagine 300 consignors, 60-70,000 quality items for babies, children, and teens, and thousands of shoppers in a 2 day sale & you've got our church consignment sale in mine! This ain't an old timey church yard sale with masking tape price tags, but is a computerized megasale that is a huge community event drawing consignors and shoppers from a 7 county area!

The Trinity on the Hill Children’s Consignment Sale (TOTH CCS) is held twice a year in the spring and sponsored by Trinity on the Hill UMC. Proceeds from the sale are divided between the seller (60%) and the TOTH CCS (40%). The net proceeds retained by the church are used to support the local, national and international missions of Trinity Outreach Ministries. In addition, at the discretion of the consignor, any unsold items may be donated to TOTH CCS to be used in various missions projects.

We're excited to announce that due to church renovation our fall sale will be held at 3360 Wrightsboro Road (the old Rhodes Furniture/Rooms To Go building)!

Children's Consignment Sale Benefits Mission!

I'ts true-- I'm not a shopper! Never have been, and likely never will be one. But I'm thrilled to be a retailer twice a year as this sale is so beneficial to mission efforts here and around the world. Think of a church putting on a sale with 300 consignors, computerized check out with 60,000-70,000 items offered, and thousands of people from the community attending the two day event and you get the idea.

The Trinity on the Hill Children’s Consignment Sale (TOTH CCS) is held twice a year in the spring and fall on the church property located at 1330 Monte Sano Avenue in Augusta, Georgia. Proceeds from the sale are divided between the seller (60%) and the TOTH CCS (40%). The net proceeds retained by the church are used to support the local, national and international missions of Trinity Outreach Ministries. In addition, at the discretion of the consignor, any unsold items may be donated to TOTH CCS to be used in various missions projects.

We're gearing up again, and if you want to be part of it now's the time to sign on as we prepare for the March 12-13 event. Find below a few of the key dates or go to

Children's Consignment Sale Update

Ever seen 60,000 items?

We had that number of items for our Children's Consignment Sale last weekend. Think of a fellowship dining hall and a gym and a hallway full of clothes and toys. Quite the vision!

Add to the picture:
214 volunteers working all week for a Friday & Saturday sale.

Add 5 computers with scanners to read the bar code on each item.

Mix in 20,772 items sold.

The end result is a record breaking weekend for us with total sales of $77,292.75. The thing I enjoy (non shopper that I am there isn't much about this that's enjoyable!) is that 40% of the proceeds go to church mission work locally, nationally, and internationally. That's a tremendous impact from "stuff" that was hiding in closets and garages!

Special thanks goes to some exceptional leaders who make this all possible as Kathryn, Nancy, Tracy, and Trish go "above & beyond" putting in 12 hour days for 6 days.

The fellowship of the redeemed changes the world once again!
