March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women throughout history. While we often reflect on trailblazing figures in politics, science, and activism, it’s just as important to celebrate the women making an impact in their own communities today—women like the consignors, franchise owners, and shoppers who make Just Between Friends (JBF) what it is.


JBF Livonia/Novi isn’t just a pop-up consignment sale—it’s a business built by women, for women, to support women.


Women Founded. Women Owned. Women Empowered.


💡 JBF was founded by a mom.
In 1997, Shannon Wilburn, a mom in Tulsa, Oklahoma, started JBF with a simple idea: helping families buy and sell kids’ items affordably. That small idea has grown into a nationwide movement, with JBF franchise locations all over the U.S.

💪 98% of JBF franchise owners are women.
JBF gives women the opportunity to own their own business, often while balancing motherhood and family life. Many owners start as shoppers or consignors and later take the leap into entrepreneurship—proving that women-led businesses are thriving.

👩‍👧‍👦 Thousands of moms use JBF to support their families.
Most JBF consignors are moms looking to earn extra income by selling their kids’ outgrown items. For many, this isn’t just a decluttering opportunity—it’s a financial lifeline that helps pay for new clothes, activities, and even household bills.

JBF Livonia/Novi's Impact: Supporting Women at Every Stage of Motherhood


✔ New & Expecting Moms – JBF Livonia/Novi makes having a baby more affordable by offering huge savings on newborn essentials.

✔ Growing Families – Moms use JBF Livonia/Novi to sell what their kids have outgrown and make room for what’s next.

✔ Women Entrepreneurs – From consignors, our employees, and business owners, JBF Livonia/Novi helps women build financial independence.

Why Women Supporting Women Matters


When women support each other, everyone wins. By shopping, selling, or working at JBF Livonia/Novi, you’re part of a network of moms and women entrepreneurs who believe in lifting each other up.


👉 This Women’s History Month, we celebrate YOU—the moms, the small business owners, the budget-conscious shoppers, and the women making a difference in our Livonia area community.

An Easy, Profitable Fundraiser for Your School or PTA


Raising funds for schools, PTAs, and student programs can feel like an endless cycle of bake sales, catalog fundraisers, and donation drives—but what if there was an easier way to earn money for your school without asking parents to spend more?


Just Between Friends (JBF) Livonia/Novi offers an effortless, profitable fundraising opportunity for schools, PTAs, and student organizations. With zero upfront costs and no selling required, it’s the easiest way to fund your programs while helping local families save money.


How Does a JBF School Fundraiser Work?


🛒 Option 1: Shop & Save for Your School
Similar to the popular "dine to donate" events, when your families mention their school at the register we donate a portion of their receipt back to the school they are supporting.

🙌 Option 2: Promote & Earn
Get a unique tracking link to share with your teachers and families, and their networks. Each ticket purchased using your link earns your organization money!

💰 Option 3: Collect & Consign
Ask your school community to donate gently used kids' items (clothing, toys, books, baby gear, etc.). Your PTA or school consigns these items at our sale, and you earn up to 70% of the sales!


💖BONUS!: Looking to stock up on classroom supplies, books, or student essentials? When you partner with JBF Livonia/Novi staff and teachers can shop at deeply discounted prices to stretch their budgets further!              

Why Choose JBF for Your School Fundraiser?


✅ No Selling or Buying Required – Unlike traditional fundraisers, JBF doesn’t ask parents to spend more money on things they don’t need. Instead, they can declutter and donate while supporting the school!


✅ Raise Hundreds (or Even Thousands) with Minimal Effort – The more items your school collects or the more volunteers participate, the more your fundraiser earns.


✅ Community-Focused & Eco-Friendly – By reselling gently used items, JBF helps local families save money while keeping items out of landfills. It’s a win-win-win for schools, families, our community and the environment!


✅ Hassle-Free & Fun – No need to plan events, track orders, or distribute products. JBF handles the selling—your school just earns the cash!


Let’s Raise Money for Your School Together!


Make fundraising simple and rewarding this year. Join other local schools in earning money the easy way!
