The Spring Duck Duck Goose Consignment Sale has just wrapped up. This is a huge children's consignment sale that is held 2 times a year. It is held in a 100,000 sq. ft. space, and it is estimated that over 18,000 shoppers came through the doors. Many people pick up their items that don't sell, but there are others that donate their items to charities after the sale.
We are fortunate to be one of the 43 charities that received donations of shoes, blankets, clothes, and toys. In exchange, we work several 4 hour shifts helping to sort clothes for the sale. It is a great deal, with the biggest winner being the children in Guatemala that receive the great clothes and other items!
We have received donations from Duck Duck Goose for the past few years - and I can attest to the fact that the Guatemalan individuals that receive these clothes and shoes are very grateful. I know of one family that received jackets from one of our shipments. It was a cold evening in Guatemala (in the 40's) and the family was barefoot and without jackets. They still had an hour walk home in the dark along mountain paths - so the jackets were a welcome gift.
We are extremely grateful to Christy, Courtney, and Heather for making these donations possible!
