A Place at the Table @ Cafe au Play

Pass It On Sale

Spring is coming!!!  Time to clean out your closets and turn that clutter into cash for Cafe au Play

Cafe au Play is accepting donations for the Pass It On sale held at the Hillsboro Armory April 11-13.

Pass It On is a semi-annual consignment event of children’s things - clothing, shoes, books, toys, equipment, furniture, and more – basically anything related to raising children from babies to preteens (including maternity clothes). http://www.passitonsales.com/pio-what.html

HOW IT WORKS:

• Cafe au Play is a registered consignor.
• Cafe au Play will receive 70%of the purchase price of all items we sell.
• We will be collecting, sorting and tagging materials for the sale.
• Unsold items are donated to a local charity.

To make arrangements to drop off donations, please contact
Traci Sullivan    ttsully@msn.com    503-577-6049

If you would like to help us with this event, we are having a Tagging Party Sunday April 6 starting at 1:00PM.  We are also looking for 3 or 4 very special volunteers to work a four hour shift at the sale to help us get an 80% cut instead of the standard 70%.

Here are some of the items that can be donated.

• Boys and girls SPRING OR SUMMER clothing, sized premie to junior, clean and in good shape (no holes, stains, etc.) This includes things such as formalwear, uniforms, costumes, ballet outfits, shoes, booties, slippers,etc.
• Maternity or nursing clothing
• Toys- must be in good working order and not missing parts
• Children's books, puzzles, movies, video games, computer software, etc.
• Infant equipment- infant carriers, backpacks, slings, strollers, Boppy pillows, play gyms, high chairs, bouncers, swings, bathtubs, potty chairs, play centers, walkers.
