This Saturday, November 11th – Veterans’ Day The Guild Consignment Center will be donating all proceeds to the Hingham Veterans. Please come and Salute+Shop+Support those who have served our country.
Hours: 10:00AM – 1:00PM
378 Main Street Rear @ the Hingham Congregational Church
For those who have consigned at the GCC – October payout is ready to be picked up.
Evidence of autumn is now visible at the Consignment Center. Halloween costumes will begin to go out on Tuesday, October 3, and we will start to accept Thanksgiving items on Tuesday, October 10. Keep this in mind as you anticipate the fall holidays and events, and check our supplies for traditional celebrations and family gatherings. Remember that inventory changes very frequently, and grows as new merchandise arrives each day of the week.
Soon, the frost will be on these pumpkins, so we are already planning for damp days and chilly evenings. Winter clothing—coats, boots, scarves, and other woolies—can be brought in as of Tuesday, October 24. Please make sure garments are clean, in current style, and good condition; check zippers, count buttons, and empty pockets before delivering.
We deeply appreciate the donations that were given on September 10, as your generosity allowed us to meet the needs of a large number of shoppers that arrived, eager for another season. We have noticed many new individuals and families visiting the shop, and an increasing cohort of customers who have made sustainable purchasing a personal priority. There seems to be a growing concern for reducing waste, changing online habits, and conserving resources.
The steady growth in our business brings a need for a larger staff. We need more hands each day in order to process goods, maintain the site, and welcome a larger sample of the public. One three-hour shift each week is all that is required to help us keep our scheduled business days running smoothly. If you are interested, or have more questions, please contact Gail Shields (gpsshields@yahoo.com), Marcia Sinclair (marbensin@gmail.com), or Sarah England (england-sarah@comcast.net).
Stop in, chat with friends, peruse, and share in the bounty!

| GUILD Consignment Center Springs Forward While our doors remained closed during a year of pandemic, the GUILD has proven that out of sight is NOT always out of mind. The forced halt that came to our business this year coincided with the plans of the Cardinal Cushing Center in Hanover to open The Marketplace in time for Christmas shoppers. Unfortunately, just as the new building reached completion, COVID restrictions at Cardinal Cushing prevented students from interfacing with the public. What a gift to be invited to assist in this new venture! Since December, five HCC members and Consignment Center volunteers have worked with Cushing staff to operate Take 2, an upscale thrift shop located on Rt. 53 alongside Unique Boutique and the Cushing Café. The weeks together have allowed us to share ideas, business practices, and help establish the new venture. As vaccines become widely available and public restrictions are gradually lifted, the Consignment Center is planning to open for a new season in September. A meeting of our volunteer staff will be held at the church (with masks and distancing) at 10am on Wednesday, May 12, to plan ahead for fall. As we reconnect, we will consider schedules, staffing, building use, and make preparations for our 65th Anniversary Year. Additional volunteers will be necessary to maintain full business hours and maintain quality merchandising. Will your life change this fall? Is your youngest child entering first grade, or heading off to college? Are you newly retired, or seeking a meaningful way to use an available evening or afternoon?We are able to offer flexible arrangements, utilize your skills and interests, and request only three hours a week as a minimum time commitment. Please join us on May 12 if you are interested in coming on board, or if you have any questions about the work involved. Feel free to contact Sarah England (england-sarah@comcast.net), Gail Shields (gpsshields@yahoo.com) , or Marcia Sinclair (marbensin@gmail.com) for more information. |
