Our Mission

Mother's Market exists to bless families by providing affordable children's clothing, toys, books, baby equipment, and other essentials while creating opportunities for generosity, community, and missions.

How the Event Works

Everyone is welcome to shop on Saturday, August 29th from 9am to 1pm.

100% of proceeds benefit Queen City Pregnancy Resource Center.


Donate

Bring your gently used children's clothing, toys, books, baby equipment, and other accepted items during our designated donation times, which can be found below.

Bless

As a thank you, we'd like to bless families who donate during our designated donation times with a Mother's Market Shopping Card. Shopping Cards work like a gift card and can be used to shop during Mother's Market on Saturday, August 29. (see details below)

If you choose not to receive a Shopping Card, your generosity will simply become another way to bless families in our community.

Shop

On Saturday, August 29th everyone is welcome to shop using a Mother's Market Shopping Card or by purchasing items with cash or card. Every purchase benefits Queen City Pregnancy Resource Center.
