Kidz Klozet Gives Back to the Community
March 2010
Almost 850 families made a huge difference to our southern Alabama and Mississippi community in mid-March by recycling over 50,000 gently-used maternity, baby and children’s items at a consignment sale conducted by Kidz Klozet in Mobile. Shoppers were able to purchase quality items at a fraction of their original cost.
The co-owners of Kidz Klozet, Michelle Huguley and Monica McGhee, allowed 12 local charities to sell tickets to a special pre-view night. The charities received 100% of the ticket sale proceeds and a portion of the sales for the evening. After the conclusion of the consignment sale, the remaining donated items were offered in a “Parking Lot Sale” to benefit the American Cancer Society, raising over $2,300. When it was all said and done if there were still items they were donated to Penelope House.
Huguley and McGhee, who are sisters, are strong supporters of cancer organizations, having lost several family members to the disease. Huguley is a breast cancer survivor. They are committed to helping raise money and to educate the community on cancer awareness and prevention. Shoppers at the sales held by Kidz Klozet can rent shopping baskets to benefit the American Cancer Society, as well as contribute in containers throughout the store during their semi-annual consignment and new clothing liquidation sales at 3679 Airport Blvd. in Mobile.
Who would have thought that un-cluttering your closets could benefit so many? So, as you begin to clean out your closets to make room for sping and summer, consider storing your excess items for the fall/winter consignment sale scheduled for September 28-October 2, 2010. You can even go to the Kidz Klozet tagging page to download the template and tag your items before you store them.
Kidz Klozet was extremely fortunate to be featured in the Bay Area B2B magazine, Dec/Jan 2009. We are grateful they allowed us to post the entire article and photos by Michael Dumas for you to enjoy on our website.
