I understand first hand, how quickly kids grow. So we create a community marketplace, twice a year, where families can sell all the things their kids are no longer using and can buy what they need at 50-90% off retail.

We invite you to participate in our next event. You can sell with us or you can shop with us. Either way, JBF gives you a solution to keep up with the needs of your growing family.
