Moms Helping Moms: Just Between Friends Partners with Baby Shower with Love and South Phoenix Healthy Start

Online, October 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Baby Shower with Love and South Phoenix Healthy Start's baby showers share the same objective....help the neediest expectant and new moms in the Phoenix area, not only providing gifts of clothing and infant items, but by making moms feel supported and comforted in pregnancy and new motherhood. "It is a trying time for any mother, but when economic hardship is thrown on top, I can only imagine that keeping your unborn child or newborn infant safe and healthy becomes incredibly stressful. In a time when as many as one in three mothers struggle to even diaper their baby, these organizations are helping to ensure babies have necessities. And, JBF is proud to share that goal."

"The partnership between Just Between Friends (JBF) and these two organizations makes sense because both groups strive to help as many moms in the community as possible," said Amy Jordan, franchise owner of JBF Phoenix NW. "JBF provides high quality 'gently-used' clothing, furniture, toys and other child-related items at up to 90 percent off retail, while consignors (sellers) make up to 70 percent on their sold items. It's a win-win for all families who participate through making and saving on the things all growing families need."

Consignors are also able to donate "desirable" unsold items to Baby Shower with Love and South Phoenix Healthy Start. Then JBF and the charitable organizations work together to provide tax receipts for the donors. From Gymboree to jump-a-roos and from Little Tikes to Little People, JBF consignors give generously to families in need across the United States. Volunteers, too, are able to support local families by helping at the sale and they get to shop before the public as a thank you for their service.

During their 2010 Fall/Winter Sales Event on Friday, October 15th (8am-7pm) and Saturday, October 16th (8am-1pm), Just Between Friends of Phoenix NW will support Baby Shower with Love by collecting a $2 entry fee from shoppers with all proceeds going to their charitable partner. JBF will also be donating unsold items to South Phoenix Healthy Start to support the monthly baby showers they are hosting for the community.

"It is a privilege for Just Between Friends and our consignors to give back to all moms in our community by working with organizations that support moms and children," said Jordan. To support this effort, Phoenix area residents can consign and shop with JBF Sale.
