Well, I've been posting for donations on Craigslist for a few weeks now and have gotten the help of some fabulous ladies! I've started a "Thank You" section here on the blog to show my appreciation to those that have helped so far!
I plan to open in March with whatever inventory I have. Right now I've got a bunch of girl's clothing mostly 0-18 months and some size 3T. I also have some boy's clothing sizes 0-18 months. I'm still collecting donations and now I'm offering a $25 credit to anyone that makes a donation of a bag of clothing! With everything valued between $1-$5, that credit will go a long way! I want to be able to offer the parents of our community a large variety, so that there is something for everyone and with your contribution, that can be a reality!
On a side note, I'm also looking for hangers. They can be the free ones you get from the stores or just old ones you don't need anymore.
Once again, thank you so much for keeping up with the KC Trading Post and I hope to see you all in March!

- I started the Kids Clothing Trading Post back in March, 2010 with just two racks and a few bins of clothes. In just 6 months we grew to 16 racks and tons of bins with more in backstock! Finally in October we built a 10x20 shed in our yard to house the KCTP and it is fabulous! Our community has come together in a huge way and we want you to join in on the fun!
Great idea. what about other "kids gear", like toys, baby necessities, etc.? I have a few things to share. Or maybe start a Have this/Want this list and then just put people in touch with each other, otherwise you will be overwhelmed with stuff to store at your house. Too bad I didn't know about this about 2 weeks ago, just dropped off alot of stuff at Goodwill. I'll start off the" Have to give away" list...I have a chair booster seat, brand new, used once or twice, straps to dining chair at the table. Also, I have a sit-n-spin and a Cozy cottage play house up for grabs. email me. lina_keyes@yahoo.com
