K-W Parents of Multiple Births Association (K-W POMBA)

Used Clothing and Equipment Sale

K-W POMBA's used clothing and equipment sale occurs twice a year: spring sales are held in April and fall sales are held in September. The sales are a great way for members and the general public to purchase good quality used clothing, toys, and equipment such as strollers, cribs, and high chairs at very low prices. It is also an excellent way for members to get rid of gently used items they no longer use. A portion of the total sales is retained by K-W POMBA to cover costs in running the sale and to raise funds to continue to offer programs to its members. For more information visit http://www.multiplebirthscanada.org/~kwpomba/
