About Me

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!

KCTP Credit Points Donation

Over the weekend I met a wonderful first time "trader" named Tammi.  She came in with a couple of boxes of clothes that she wanted to trade in and found some treasures for her little peanut.  Of course like many of our parents, she ended up with a lot of KCTP credit points and decided to keep an account open.

Later that weekend, I received an email from Tammi:

"My husband and I prayed over the amount you said I had and we would love to donate 100.00 credit to some family that could truly need it and use it. We have a lot more clothes to give you which we won't get to them until after summer break since we go camping a lot. I am sure you know a family that can truly use 100.00 credit with you?..... You can give it away as your choice we trust that you would do the right thing. I personally know that at a time in my past if someone gave me 100.00 credit to use on clothes I would have been very grateful and blessed......Giving this gift of clothing to someone that could truly use and need it would be such a HUGE BLESSING to us. I truly love what you are doing and if there is anything I could do to help you please please let me know."

So now I am working with local agencies that help families in need to find out where I can donate these clothes to or extend an invitation for these families to come and pick out clothes for free.

If you would like to follow in Tammi's footsteps and donate a portion of your KCTP credit points, please let me know.  You can also email me to find out your credit balance.

I would like to extend a heart felt Thank You to Tammi and her family for being the first in hopefully a long line of KCTP "Traders" that will give back to our community anyway we can!

Thanks for reading and as always, Happy Trading!
