$2.00 admission (Donated to Yellow Brick House Women’s Shelter)
What
is a Mom to Mom sale?
Children
grow
very quickly. Many parents wonder what to do with all the “stuff”
that their
children no longer fit into, or use. The Mom to Mom Sale provides
parents with an opportunity to sell their gently used baby and children’s
items. It’s a perfect way to clean out those closets, dressers and toy
boxes and make some extra money at the same time. The sale is
intended for selling children’s items only. You will not find pots
and pans at the Mom to Mom Sale!
The sale is like a garage sale, but instead of using your driveway, you
rent a table at the church. It’s a wonderful way to sell your items
to a targeted audience, plus we do the advertising for you! Parents
work their own table and take home 100% of their profits. We
have over 40 tables available for rent.
The sale attracts well over 600 customers who are specifically looking to
buy used baby and children’s items.
How frequently is the Mom to Mom sale held?
The
Mom to Mom Sale is held twice per year, once in the spring and once in
the fall.
How do I get to the Church?
Hot ticket items:
Large
toys
(kitchens, work benches, playhouses, table & chair sets, easels);
Outdoor toys (slides, basketball nets, ride on toys, bikes, wagons,
skates);
Baby equipment (strollers, high chairs, jolly jumpers, exersaucers,
swings, play pens);
Small toys (you name it, it sells); books; video/audio tapes; CD’s; DVD’s.
Why is there an admission fee?

What is
the refund policy?
The
Thornhill
Mom to Mom Sale is a fundraising event. As such, we do not provide
refunds on table rental fees. However, should you be unable to
participate in the sale, you are welcome to find a replacement, and your
replacement can reimburse you. Please make sure you inform the event
organizer so that your replacement can receive important information
about the sale.
What are the rental terms?
- Please limit
the number of helpers on setup night to one person.
- Please ensure
that items with safety regulations (i.e. car seats, cribs) are in
good working order and meet current safety standards. CAR SEATS
SHOULD BE LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD.
- On sale day,
please park your car at Thornhill Secondary School (next door). This
will give our customers priority parking.
- Please ask
customers to take large sold items to their cars immediately.
Holding the item at your table creates unnecessary congestion in the
aisles.
- At the
completion of the sale, please do not leave unsold items at your
table. All remaining items must go home with you, including
empty boxes and garbage.
- Please sell
used merchandise only. The sale is not intended for new merchandise
or services. (The odd item with an original price tag is just
fine!)
- Please
remember that the sale is for baby and children's items ONLY!
