Trinity UMC is gearing up for its annual fall consignment sale. The two-day Lil’ Lambs sale in the church gym will include a variety of products for children and infants, including clothes, furniture, accessories, toys, books and strollers. Many items will be half price on Saturday.
This 15-year tradition at Trinity is a chance for residents to snag a great deal while also benefiting their community. Sellers at Lil’ Lambs keep 70 percent of the money they earn, but the remaining 30 percent goes toward Trinity’s Children’s Ministry and both local and international charities. Director of Communication Haley Smith said this year’s profits will go to the Isheanesu Project in Africa, vacation Bible school programs and buying “special things” for children’s ministries that the church could not normally afford. The church also supports other local children’s charities throughout the year.
Smith said the fall and spring sales each require about 100 volunteers to operate. The sale is popular in Homewood because parents can easily find seasonal clothes at good prices. Smith herself was a Lil’ Lambs shopper when her children were young, and she has met people who drive from Jasper and beyond to shop for their kids.
“People have told us where they’re from, and it just surprises us that they would drive all the way to Homewood,” Smith said.
