Please DO NOT take clothing to the library before the swap! We did not get a lot of spring and summer items at the last swap to carry over to this one… so find as many clothes as you can to bring. Ask your friends, family, and neighbors for donations. Thank you! See you all there!
GIVEAWAY TIME!
Family Friendly Asheville has been gifted 2 Platinum presale tickets (valued at $40/ea) to shop ahead of the public, PLUS $25 gift cards to use toward purchases, to give away to 2 LUCKY WINNERS (1 pass & 1 gift card EACH), to the Seeds and Sprouts Kids Consignment Sale at the Xcel Sportsplex in Fletcher, NC. These Platinum presale tickets provide you with 1:00pm access to the March 12th presale.
SASK is a high-quality, best-value, bi-annual kids consignment event, and its consignors are proud to not only provide affordable kids clothing, toys, and gear for purchase by local families, but also to support the WNC foster care community through donations at the conclusion of the event during a special Foster Family Free Shop. Their goal in launching this incredible community event was to build a true community of consignors, shoppers, and team members who love the thrill of consignment and also rally behind the WNC foster care community. Seeds and Sprouts Kids had its first event in April 2018 with a strong community response that has led to the sale more than doubling in size in just four events. Their Spring/Summer event from March 13th-15th, 2020, will undoubtedly be the largest yet with consignors, shoppers, and team members traveling in from across the WNC area, eager to participate again and see how much it’s grown since the Fall.
Deadline to enter is 6:00pm on March 9th, 2020. Good luck!
Winner will be chosen at random, and will be announced March 9th after 6:00pm on the Family Friendly Asheville Facebook page.
