Dear fellow Hanoverians:
As
one of the recipients of “Around Town on the Web” said to me in an
e-mail the other day, I love that we are coming together even more as a
community during these tough economic times. In keeping with that spirit,
here is yet another example of a Hanover businesswoman “doing right”
by her community!
Three
years ago Hanover resident Laura Rappaport started The Children’s
Clothesline, a unique, highly organized child consignment sale. The sale
was started to help families earn extra cash selling their high quality, gently
used children’s clothing and items. At the same time, the sale gives
families one stop shopping for all those great items at a fraction of retail
prices!
Here’ s
the part I like best: The Children’s Clothesline has a history of
supporting charities for families in need. Each year, at the end of the
sale, many consignors chose to donate their unsold items to Cradles to Crayons
in Quincy. Beginning this year, consignors (who are allowed to shop at a
Friday night pre-sale from 6 pm – 9 pm) can donate either $5.00 or 5 food
items which will go to support the Hanover Food Pantry. In exchange, they
will receive an additional pass for a friend or family member to the Friday
night Pre-Sale! This should be a huge boon for the Hanover Food Pantry;
there are currently 200 families consigning thousands of their high quality,
gently used child clothing and items!
Location:
Riley Hall – First Congregational Church
