MOMsMart Fall Sale
2025-09-06 08:00 - 17:00, 2025-09-05 08:00 - 17:00 | Trinity UMC – Huntsville, AL, 607 Airport Rd SW, Huntsville, AL, 35802, United States
MOMsMart is HAMOM’s semi-annual kids consignment sale that takes place in the spring and fall. We pride ourselves in providing the cleanest and most organized shopping environment with quality children’s clothing, furniture, toys, and accessories. MOMsMart is the only local consignment sale organized by a non-profit support group.
Why the “kid-free” policy? As much as we LOVE children- that’s why we do this sale- we just do not have the room on our crowded sales floor to allow ANY children. Because unfortunately even if you control your kids, putting things back where they go, not allowing them to run through the clothing racks, etc, not everyone does. Our sale runs 72 hours from setup to teardown. This is a very short time frame to sell a lot of merchandise that our consignors have spent hours, days and even months organizing, tagging and hanging. This policy allows things to operate more smoothly and minimizes the chaos. We realize it’s a sacrifice for you to plan ahead for babysitting, etc. and we thank you in advance for making the appropriate arrangements.
While at the sale, you may also find our delicious bake sale with donations from our members and local bakeries. All the proceeds go directly to the Huntsville Hospital NICU. Proceeds from the MOMsMart sale support our monthly meetings, yearly events, organizational expenses, and allow us to contribute to additional charitable organizations that help many worthy causes for many different locals of all ages.
At the end of the sale, we make a sizable donation of clothing and goods to a local charity benefiting children and families. Past recipients have included the Madison County Foster Parent group “The Exchange”, New Futures, Inc., The Care Center Thrift Store, and North Alabama Foster Closet. ​
Friday, September 5, 2025 | 8am-7pm
Saturday, September 6, 2025 | 8am-12pm
(marked items will be 50% off on Saturday)
