Thanks to the KidSALE Committee for their hard work recently in making the KidSale consignment sale such a huge success! This ministry is led by a team of 15 dedicated women along with over 100 volunteers plus our BUMC youth who help with set up and take down. It’s a ministry that benefits everyone: the consignor who receives 70% of the proceeds, the buyers who are able to purchase quality items for their children at a fraction of the retail cost, and the church who receives 30% of the proceeds that benefit missions such as BUMC youth trips, Harvest Hands, 61st Ave. UMC Summer Programs, Honduras, Russia, Thembelihle Pre-School in South Africa and many more.
