💰Sell Before You Donate
Did you come across clothes that were only worn once while cleaning out the closet? Before you donate them to charity, consider offsetting the cost of back-to-school shopping by selling them at one of these local consignment shops. It’s a great way to recycle gently used items and make a little extra cash for new school supplies or outfits.
- Once Upon a Child: Buys and sells gently used, stain-free apparel and footwear for newborns to teens
- Plato's Closet: Buys and sells designer brands for teens and adults
