'Blowout' Children's Consignment Clothing Sale This Week In Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — "Just Between Friends" (JBF) will hold a children's consignment pop-up clothing sale from Wednesday, Sept. 3 to Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Newtown Sports & Events Center at 207 Penns Trail, Newtown.

Families are invited to shop for gently used and new clothing, toys, baby gear, books, shoes, maternity items, and more, all at 50- to 90-percent off retail prices.

With a mission to recycle children’s nearly new items, JBF sales promote sustainability and support local communities across the country. Founded in 1997, the organization has grown into a nationwide phenomenon, positively impacting local economies, families, and the environment.

"Just Between Friends" is an easy and fun way for families to help the environment through “recycling by reselling." In this case, sustainability starts in the closet with moms and dads saving the planet "one piece of clothing at a time," said local sale organizer Cassandra Bartle.

"As a country, we throw away 10 million tons of clothing per year and it ends up in landfills. In fact, the average family throws 85 percent of their clothing every year, according to Business
Insider," said Cassandra.

The Just Between Friends four-day pop-up consignment sale in Lower Bucks could help keep up to
21,000 pounds of clothing and 12,000 pounds of plastics out of local landfills, said the organizers.

Just Between Friends also gives back, donating unsold items to local charities, including Fostering Hope Lower Buck and The Baby Bureau, which provides free clothing, shoes, books, school supplies and more to families in need.

"In addition to saving money, consignors earn cash for their families, and unsold items can be donated to local nonprofits, helping even more neighbors in need."
