Coloradans filled almost a hundred bags with clothing, shoes, backpacks and toys this weekend to be shipped to Ukrainians in need. KlopezNews reports:
The donations were recently collected during the event “Just Between Friends” in Douglas County.
"We understand that kids grow fast which can get expensive, and twice a year we put on an event where families can sell the things their kids have outgrown and other families can buy it at 50-90% off retail price," said event owner and coordinator, Deborah Freeman. "I’m a mom of three girls and its hard to continually provide for them, especially when they grow fast," she said.Over 600 families participated in the consignment.
