Since Next Size Up was founded in 2009, the event has grown to more than 1800 area families participating in each event. This season, over 250 consignors will be offering their new and gently used items up for sale - that's more than 40,000+ items under one roof!
Consignors register via the website (NextSizeUpKids.com), enter their items into the online inventory system, prepare and tag them and bring them in by appointment for inspection. They receive at least 60% of the sale price of their items, and can increase that to up to 75% by volunteering. Traditional consignor spots have filled up, but restock consignors who drop off their items on Friday, May 5 are now being accepted. Consignors and volunteers shop early at a private presale on Thursday evening, May 4 (the more shifts worked, the earlier the admission time).

Vendors from a variety of local family-oriented and home-based businesses will be on hand each day of the sale (opportunities still available), and non-perishable food items for the Daily Bread Food Pantry will be collected.
Next Size Up has always benefited charities. In addition to the food drive, many unsold items are donated to Cradles to Crayons, a Boston charity that gives the items directly to families in need.
