Everyone has the right to feel good about providing well for their families—that’s why we created Just Between Friends. We have helped over 1 million families—just like yours—afford the brands and styles they want, all while saving hundreds of thousands of dollars across North America. At your local sale, you’ll find all the brands and equipment you need at prices that fit your budget—so you can raise confident, stylish, good-looking kids!
We understand: Everyone wants the BEST for their kids, but we don’t want to break the family budget! That’s where Just Between Friends comes in. At a Just Between Friends sale, you can:
SHOP rows and rows of baby and children’s shoes, toys, clothing, maternity, and baby equipment at 50 to 90% off retail
SELL your items as a consignor and earn from 60 to 70% on your item sales
HELP OUT at the sale and make new friends—plus you get a lot of OTHER perks too!
And it’s not just about saving money and making money. It’s about building community—a group of involved, caring friends, families, and neighbors that come together to support one another for these twice-a-year, safe, clean, organized sales.
Helping Local, Family-Supporting Charities
Another HUGE part of JBF is the local charities with whom we partner to reach even MORE people within our communities. Each sale donates items and goods to these local organizations which help local women, children, and families. We serve groups that provide clothing closets, crisis centers, transitional emergency care, food banks, and so many other wonderful services.
Why We Do This
Since 1997 our Mission Statement has been the same. We still pursue this mission today:
To glorify God by bringing communities and families together in a welcoming, friendly venue that allows them to care for children and be good stewards of what they have been given.
We do not take for granted the good that comes from each sale or the trust our families place in our commitment to hold safe, family-supporting events, season after season. We are dedicated to our communities because we are a part of these communities. We are moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who are invested in making our small parts of the world a better place. We are bargain lovers, of course, but beyond that, we believe in being good stewards of our resources—taking care of each other and the environment—and reaching out a hand to those who need it (as we all do at one time or another).
How It Started
Even from its small beginnings as a living room sale back in 1997, local Tulsa, Oklahoma families brought items to sell while other families shopped to purchase items they needed. Since then, the economy has brought challenges which have left some struggling to make ends meet. We hear story after story about how Just Between Friends has helped make that happen—giving families a way to provide quality items at bargain prices for their kids. And while some families sell items to have money for extras, for others, JBF can make the difference in being able to cover their bills.
What Matters to Us
The core of our business is a reflection of the core of who we are—as business owners, parents, and community builders. So what is that, exactly? We’ve summed in up in these CORE values:
Champion each other
Obedient to our faith
Responsible to communities and the environment
Empower families
—we LOVE a great bargain—not just because we love saving money, but because we believe everyone deserves high quality items.
Everyone deserves to feel good about providing well for their families—on any budget.

GOOD WORKS
Between Friends®
Our consignment sales are seasonal sales where communities come together to buy and sell the best in gently-used children’s, maternity, and other items, yet they are really so much more. As part of our mission and the efforts of our participants to perform GOOD WORKS—part of the Between Friends® Giving Program—each consignment sale gives back to local family-supporting charities.
Thanks to all our FABULOUS CONSIGNORS and PARTICIPANTS, we have been able to give back over $28 Million in cash and in-kind donations across the country since Between Friends began! That is nothing short of amazing! We love your generous hearts and thank you from the bottom of ours for donating your unsold items that go to help families in crisis shelters, community clothing closets, food banks and other wonderful organizations that help give hope to those at times when they need it most. You inspire us! Thank you for helping Just Between Friends give back to the communities we are so honored to serve!
"I just want to extend a very heartfelt *thank you* to you and all the consigners you encourage to support Eastside Baby Corner! The MOUNTAIN of donations we hauled away from Pickering Barn last night is a much-needed boost to our inventory. We’re creating
approx. 20 to 25 infant layettes every week and we’re desperate for 09 month size clothing. I can hardly wait to start sorting through the donations! Your consigners can take pride knowing that their contributions will be quickly distributed to children in need. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ~ Charity Partner from Seattle East, WA.
