Since establishing the local franchise’s location on April 3, owner Tatiana Cooke has purchased 64,451 gently used baby and children’s items, paying out more than $81,000 to the community. The shop’s shelves and racks were stocked with the help of GStudents, a youth program at Grace Church.
“We’ve had a great response,” Tatiana says. “Everyone is excited to have this asset available, and we’re looking forward to continuing to learn and grow and serve the community.”
