Want to get some good, inexpensive children’s clothes and help local families? Then this is the sale for you.

The Ginghamsburg Kid2Kid Sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at The Avenue at Ginghamsburg Church, 6759 S. County Road 25A, in Tipp City.

The sale, which is held twice a year and is sponsored by the Ginghamsburg Mom2Mom ministry, will make its debut at The Avenue this weekend.

Cathy McGraw, who is coordinating the sale, said the venue changed because the sale outgrew its former site, the Discipleship Center at the church.

“We just busted out the seams of that one,” McGraw said. “We are happy we were able to get The Avenue. We are excited to be able to use a larger area and increase the number of sellers.”

The Tipp City mother of three said the Kid2Kid sale began in spring 2004 with fewer than 20 sellers, and for Saturday’s sale, “We will be close to 75 sellers!”

McGraw said the Kid2Kid sale is similar to the TWIGs and Mothers of Twins sales, but it is one of the few in the Tipp City area.

“We don’t compete — well, we do — but we talk about what works and what doesn’t,” she said.

At the Kid2Kid sale there will be a large selection of gently used fall and winter name-brand clothing for newborns through teenagers, as well as toys, crib and room decor, cribs, strollers, walkers, bikes, etc.

McGraw said anything that is baby- or child-related can be found at the sale.

“Several moms comment that they use our sale to outfit their children for an entire season,” she said.

McGraw added that the Kid2Kid sale is run by the sellers, who then donate 10 percent of what they make back to the church’s Mom2Mom group, which uses the money for child care, helping other moms in need, helping to stock the Ginghamsburg food pantry, donating to charities, etc.

Ginghamsburg Church provides the facility and support.

Also at Saturday’s sale, there will be another way to help a specific local family.

“We will be taking optional donations at the door for the memorial fund of the little boy who recently passed away,” McGraw said, referring to William “Will” McAnaul, the Vandalia 3-year-old who accidently shot himself July 21.

Donations also can be made directly to the Will McAnaul Memorial Fund c/o First Financial Bank, 4391 Far Hills Ave., Dayton, OH 45439.

And, if the spring is any indicator, the Kid2Kid sale should be able to help. McGraw said this spring the sale made more than $10,000.

She added that when the sale opens at 8 a.m., there are expected to be at least 50 to 100 people lined up outside and waiting to shop.

But, once inside, the wait should be minimal.

“This year, we are increasing the number of checkouts in hopes of decreasing the amount of time the buyers will wait in line,” McGraw said. “We will also have an express lane for those shoppers who are only purchasing a few items.”
