Are your closets overflowing with unused children’s clothes and other items?  Now is the time to clean out your closets and make some extra cash, or donate your items to support a local non-profit!

The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition is holding their annual Tot Swap Consignment Sale, to be held in Key West September 13-18.  The sale will be held next to the Key West K-mart and is open to the public.  Everyone is welcome to shop.

Accepted consignment sale items include new or clean, gently used children’s clothing size newborn through 12 years old; nursery furniture; baby equipment and gear; children’s toys, books, DVDs, and games; and maternity clothes. Sale proceeds benefit the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition’s programs for pregnant women, babies and children in Monroe County.

SELL YOUR ITEMS: Go to KeysHealthyStart.org and click on Tot Swap at the top right for instructions on how to register as a new or returning consignor and list and price your own items– earning 50-70% of your sold items’ profits.  Consignors will drop off their items, priced and on hangers, on Sunday, September 11. Middle Keys parents interested in consigning or donating should call the Coalition for information on a carpool possibility for drop-off.

DONATE YOUR ITEMS: Donations of clean, gently used items will be gladly accepted through Friday, August 26 at the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition Office (Gato Building), 1100 Simonton St – Room 1, Key West, (Monday through Friday, 9 am-4 pm). To donate large items, email [email protected] or call the Coalition Office prior to August 26 to make arrangements.
