I have had the pleasure of running the 5 & Dime Kids sale for 11 years. Throughout this journey I have met and worked alongside so many wonderful people. I have witnessed and experienced new friendships, parent support, community connections, and lots of laughter. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in the 5 & Dime Sale over the years. I look forward to many many more!

Five & Dime adds a 2nd Location in Decatur
A second location is added in Decatur. Very excited to offer our sellers two opportunities to sell and shop!
Bought a Trailer
Five & Dime Kids is now mobile. Somehow, with the help of my hard working husband, we fit the entire sale inside this itty bitty trailer.

Update to Metal Clothing Racks
Five & Dime Kids made more room for clothing with our new metal clothing racks. They also take up a lot less storage space so we can store the sale in the itty bitty trailer!
2013
Clothing Swap
Five & Dime Kids partnered with Epworth UMC (now Neighborhood Church) to hold a women’s clothing swap. Many local businesses donated their time, services, and gift certificates to create this beautiful event. Registration fees and clothing were donated to Action Ministries and Refugee Resettlement & Immigration Services of Atlanta (RRISA) who merged with New American Pathways in 2014.

The Bake Sale!
Five & Dime starts the bake sale that our shoppers and volunteers have come to rely on for sustenance. Their kids like it too! Non-profits enjoy hosting the bake sale as a fundraiser for their organizations and we enjoy eating their delicious homemade treats. It’s not uncommon to find gluten free and vegan items. If you are interested in selling baked goods for your cause contact us at info@fiveanddimekids.com.

Connects with Hands on Atlanta
Most of our donations are picked up by Genora Crooke with Hands on Atlanta. They are taken to shelters or given to families with specific needs. Genora and her husband are wonderful and have been an essential part of the sale for 10 years.
