While Giggles & Grace may look like your typical consignment sale (with clothes, toys, furniture, and decor) itās much more than that. Itās also a huge, biannual mission outreach for Asbury and the communities we serve.Ā
In 2023:
ā Total sales exceeded $298,000
āMore than $78,000 donated back to Asbury UMC general fund for missions and Asbury youth & children’s ministries
ā 170 forty-gallon bags of unsold items were donated to community charities around the Greater Birmingham Area: Reach Out and Read Book Drive, Garrett’s Place, Trinity UMC Clothes Closet, Oak Mountain Mission Ministries, Kingās Home, Grace Klein Community, and Shelby County Foster Parent Association
ā 172 local families in need received clothing vouchers to shop the sale (more than $23,000 in donations)
Giggles & Grace also serves as a food drive to help stock theĀ Food Pantry. Canned food/non-perishable items can be donated during the sale. Donation boxes are located at the door.Ā Bonus: for each food item you donate, youāll be entered in a raffle for a chance to win a check-out fast pass, so you can skip the check-out line. The raffle takes place on both sale days.
You can alsoĀ shop early on Thursday or get a āskip the checkout lineā pass by volunteering at the sale OR donating $25 to cover volunteer snacks and refreshments.
