Multiples of the Midlands (The MoM Club) will host its fall/winter consignment sale August 17 from 7 am to noon. 

The M.O.M. (Mothers of Multiples) Sale is held bi-annually, featuring gently used items for children. Organized by volunteer members of The MoM Club, shoppers will find a variety of products at a fraction of the cost they would pay for the same items purchased new. Each sale presents a gymnasium full of merchandise, including clothes (preemie-size 14), shoes, equipment, books, toys, entertainment needs, feeding essentials and much more. The furniture available for sale could include cribs, toddler/twin beds, changing tables and rockers/gliders. Items are closely examined by the event’s Quality Control Inspectors before being offered for sale.

“Parents of multiples are keenly aware of the high cost involved with having and raising children, this sale is a great way for families to save a lot of money on the items that are necessary on a daily basis,” said Cynthia Guyton, M.O.M. Sale co-chair. “While clothing is the main feature of each sale, equipment and entertainment options are in abundant supply, as well. Our shoppers are consistently pleased with our large selection, high quality, low prices and friendly volunteers.”

Unlike similar sales, The M.O.M. Sale supports the activities of The MoM Club, a non-profit organization supporting families with multiples. The MoM Club offers monthly meetings, online support, playdates, a Preemie Closet and a variety of support opportunities specifically for families raising multiples. Additionally, a portion of the revenues from the sales over the past couple of years have been utilized to support the Prisma Health Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House and Sister Care.

“Our club members are passionate about giving back to the charities in the community that directly impact the lives of children, these sales are the major reasons we can be generous to other worthy organizations,” Guyton said. 

The fall/winter M.O.M. Sale will be open to the public in the Health and Wellness Center at Brookland Baptist Church, 1066 Sunset Boulevard, Highway 378 in West Columbia. Large items (i.e. furniture and equipment) sell very quickly. Plan to arrive early. Admission and parking are free.
