Johnstown, PA (Oct. 3, 2014) – The Learning Lamp and EcoKids are proud to bring back the Children’s Consignment Sale for the fall! Parents can browse through hundreds of consigned kids’ items, which include apparel, toys, furniture baby equipment, Halloween costumes and holiday outfits, and spend less than they would at department stores. This year, the consignment sale runs Oct. 9, 10 and 11, 2014.
“The Children’s Consignment Sale gives parents an inexpensive option to get their kids bundled up for fall and winter,” said Ingrid Kloss, development director at The Learning Lamp. “We’re gearing up for a great sale, with over 50 consignors participating.”
The schedule for the three-day sale is as follows:
Thursday, Oct. 9 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 10 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 11 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (All sales are 50% off!)
Since 2010, The Learning Lamp’s biannual Children’s Consignment Sales have consistently raised funds for its free after school and summer outreach program in Moxham, Oakhurst and Prospect. The program provides students with a stable after school environment where they receive homework help from a certified teacher, a healthy meal and character-enrichment activities.
The success of these sales served as a launching pad for EcoKids—a year-round, one-stop shop for consigned children’s clothes and other items. Both the sales and the consignment store promote an eco-friendly attitude when it comes to gently used items. Instead of throwing away clothes, toys, and equipment your kids have outgrown, parents are encouraged to recycle them so other families can use them.
