About CCC Sale
Children's Clothing
Consignment Sale is a semi-annual sale of children's clothes,
toys, furniture, baby equipment, and maternity items. The
consignment salewas started in 2002 by Laura Watson and Tess
Murphy two stay at home moms trying to clothe our ever growing
children and has grown into much more than that. Over 900
families from all over East Texas fill +30,000 square
feet of space and turn their "gently used items" into cash
while at the same time meeting their own children's clothing
needs at affordable prices.
We started
Children's Clothing Consignment Sale to help us clothe
our own growing families. Part of why we decided to do this
was that we weren't the only ones that would benefit from it.
It helps families clothe constantly growing kids by giving
them one stop bargain shopping and, it is an affordable way
for them to give their children some of the name brand items
that would otherwise be beyond their budget.
God has richly
blessed our efforts and we have grown faster than we ever
expected. Each sale is bigger and better than the one before.
Thank you to all our Sellers and Volunteers who have supported
and helped to make these events successful each time. Your
participation in the CCC Sale blesses families all across the
globe.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
CCC
CCC has donated the
maternity and infant items to Living Alternatives from every
sale. The following is an excerpt from a letter we received
from them.
"Laura and
Tess,
We extend our
deepest heartfelt thanks for allowing the crisis Pregnancy
Center of Living Alternative the opportunity to receive the
baby items & maternity clothes for use in our Building
Blocks program. The young mothers enjoy learning how to
provide the best care for their children, and they really
appreciate the donated items to supplement their restricted
budgets."
