Eastside Mothers of Multiples will hold its twice annual Toys & Togs Sale on Saturday, April 10 at Bellevue College.
The sale, which is open to the public, provides an opportunity for people to pick up gently used (and sometimes brand new) items, just about anything on a shopping list for baby or child.
The sale will offer maternity clothing, nursery furnishings/decor, high chairs and boosters, strollers, infant carriers, and backpacks, 100 racks of infant and children’s clothing, infant gear, toys and games, books and CDs, and car seats.
Approximately 150 EMOMs members sell items at each sale, keeping a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their own items. The remainder of the proceeds covers the cost of the sale and helps EMOMs fund club programs for families with multiples.
The venue is set up like a baby/children’s department store, with like items grouped together and clothing hanging on more than 120 clothing racks, organized by size, filling 2 basketball courts to the brim.
The sale can be very busy for the first several hours. The outside line usually forms before 9 a.m. After 1 p.m., the lines are usually much shorter.
