SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

Every sale benefits our local charity partner

Thanks to our very generous sellers who choose to donate their unsold items, we are able to help Northeast Houston Community Center with essentials their clients need twice each year.

Northeast Houston Community Center exists to bring hope to the people of Houston’s Fifth Ward. For some, hope comes as they receive a box of food and clothes. For others, however, hope comes when they hear the message of hope that we share with every client we meet. Every week we have opportunities to provide hope to people who need it desperately, and we can only do that because of our partnerships with people like you! NEHCC provides quality food and clothing, free of charge, to anyone who needs it, regardless race, color or religion.

Food Pantry

This ministry currently offers food to needy families in the Fifth Ward and in the surrounding communities every Monday night. The majority of the food comes from local churches and other organizations who collect specific items that are donated and from the Houston Food Bank. The food is then sorted and handed out on Monday nights. During the process, families are prayed with and spiritual needs are addressed. All proceeds from our Bargains and Blessings sales go towards NEHCC purchasing food needs from the Houston Food Bank.

Clothes Closet

Part of the mission has been designated as a clothes closet for needy families. This ministry closely works with the food pantry during on Monday nights. Volunteers walk each individual and/family through the closet assisting them in picking out clothes and shopping for the items they need. This hands-on approach gives our team an opportunity to provide hope to those who need it most. JBF Kingwood | Atascocita provides donated items to the NEHCC Clothes Closet after each sale.

Have you thought about donating?

We highly recommend donating your items each sale—why? We have found that those who choose to reduce items for the half-price sale and also donate unsold items tend to price to sell. That means more items are likely to sell due to the great value shoppers receive during the half-price sale. And if items do not sell, they are donated to our Charity Partner. So no matter what, everyone wins!

Why do sellers donate? Here's what they say.

"I love helping. That's why."

I love that all these items go to help other families. They have plenty of good life left in them so to know they are going to be given to others who can love and use them makes me happy.

"All the resources stay right here."

I love to donate because items and resources stay right here in our community. They're not shipped off somewhere and sold for scrap. They go to help our neighbors and that's why I like to donate.

• Jordan M, JBF Seller, Giver and dad of 2

"I have kids. I get it."

I realize that we ALL need help from time to time. To think that items my kids have loved can help someone else's littles makes it all worth it. I love to sell my things, sure. BUT knowing that no matter what I'm helping families—that's a great feeling.

• Leslie R, JBF Seller, Giver and mom of 4

"It makes me clean up. I need the nudge."

Full confession—I'm not good at going through the kids' closets to clear stuff out. Each sale season, though, I've developed the practice of going through the closets to sell and then donate if items don't sell. JBF helps to keep me from becoming THAT mom. :)
