PTA Pre-Loved Booth.

Today I volunteered for 3 hours to man the PTA booth that sells preloved clothes and toys. We asked the parents to donate preloved items from their house and we collected many. The picture is the booth with other parent volunteers. Proceeds will be used in PTA projects. Did you involve yourself in your children's PTA or any activities in their school?

those are items that are used by the owners but are not using for the reason that it is not fitting them anymore or they are just no longer using the items

Yes, we tried to support whatever was going. A pre-loved stall is a very good idea.

I was involved with PTA when I had children in school. It is a worth while cause.

I love the term "preloved" rather than used. Hope everything sells and the booth is successful.

Yes, preloved is better than used. I don't think we will be able to sell all, but we can schedule it again for another time.

I don't have children but I used to be one. I only remember selling items we crafted at school and donating the proceeds to a charity, but this is also very good. So many clothes and plushies, that's fantastic!
