It is 2015 and the Bowen Children’s Centre Clothing sale is ON! Yes, that’s right, we are open for business and accepting your fine, gently or never used treasures so have a look through your wardrobe for a spring cleanout. We are accepting donations until May 5th.
Please drop off your items to the Children’s Centre during regular weekday business hours (8 a.m.– 6 p.m.). We are the big red building with the green roof at 650 Carter Road, on the way to IPS and Cates Chapel. The Children’s Centre Clothing Sale, which is held at Cates Chapel, is a fabulous recycling event where once-loved clothing of all shapes and styles find new, appreciative homes. Most items are priced at a toonie (yes that’s $2) and select up-market items are individually – but still modestly – priced. So, please think ahead to Bowen Children’s Centre’s 14th Annual Clothing Sale Fundraiser mark down Saturday May 9th on your calendar ! Some clothing may have been gifts, impulse purchases, reminders of a different weight, or evidence of a previous lifestyle, but we all have them: clothing and accessories that aren’t really ‘us’ anymore – so clean out those closets and bring the gently used stuff to us. Variety being the spice of life, the Children’s Centre is hoping for lots of continental clothes to mix with island offerings, and asks you to please spread the word among your off-island friends, relatives and co-workers in plenty of time to get their clothes across the straight.
The Children’s Centre will do the sorting, so bring it all: subtle or sparkly, practical or precious, 2015 or vintage. We love accessories in particular: hats, gloves, costume jewelry and more. Not sure what will sell? No worries: quirkier, dated offerings are great fun for children’s dress-up collections and drama costumes. For more information, please contact Ann, at the Centre’s office: 604-947-9626.
