Reduce. Reuse. Recycle... for a good cause!

A couple of weeks ago I hosted a "Kids' Clothing Exchange" to benefit the kids in our NCL Jrs. charity. It was such a blast. Lots of friends came with their gently used kids clothes that their little ones had grown out of and traded them in for "new" clothes in the right size. It was a hit. Kids grow so quickly that we all had clothes that our kids grew out of way too quick and so many with tags still on! We cocktailed. Chatted. Shopped. A fun girls' night in (with a purpose!)






















And then... when everyone had exhausted their ability to shop, we packed up everything that was left to take to our charities. I am proud to say that we had more than a dozen large trash bags filled with clothes. We organized them by size and they are ready to distribute!

Nice work ladies.... thanks for coming out!

Lori, I wish I had you for a Mom when I was little. Never had all of those pretty clothes. Good Job and good cause. Love MOM

Great example you are showing your daughters. NCL is a terrific way to teach the young ones about volunteering and giving back!
Maybe a "kids exchange" for gently used toys! Think of how many smiles you will put on little ones faces at the holidays:)
Keep us the good work, ladies!
