Serving Families

About JBF

Coon Rapids/Elk River

Hi, I’m Jackie! As a mom, I know firsthand how quickly kids grow—and how expensive it can be to keep up with everything they need. That’s why I coordinate the Just Between Friends sales in our community: to help families save money, earn extra cash, and provide quality items for their growing children without stretching the budget.

Each JBF sale is made possible by an incredible community of parents, grandparents, and hardworking staff members who come together to make the event a success. We’re so grateful for everyone who helps create a fun, organized, and welcoming experience for local families.

We also hire temporary hourly staff before each sale, so if you’re interested in joining our team, I’d love to hear from you!

Kelly L.

I love love love JBF. Recently, I went to the local thrift store and left disappointed with the prices and condition of the clothes. At JBF, not only do I consign my grandkids' clothes, but I also buy clothes in good condition at affordable prices. Everyone needs to know about JBF!
