Omg I was going to get my baby shabos clothes there! Really can't afford to spend 50+ in regular stores. Anyone know of other gemachs that have normal up to date?

There are a number of reasons they could get an eviction notice. Don't think worse case scenario.

However I think they need a smaller place and a better system. Their clothing is way to expensive for being second hand

Sage has cheaper stuff - they have clothes from last season. Definitely under $50.

The back room is full of garbage bags of used clothing meanwhile the shelves barely have anything used. For a store taking Lakewood hand me downs I would expect nicer ( more) used clothes on the shelves

Dk why they moved to a storefront. They helped more people when they were in a basement.

There is a place in westgate called pinwheel but I don’t have the details.

Idk I go specifically for the used baby girl stuff and they barely have anything which doesn't make sense to me

Mommyla, continue donating. All my siblings get beautiful clothes for their kids in serendipity. Don't listen to one I'ma who wasn't successful

It's hard work going through the bags. Maybe they don't have enough help.
