Why We Exist.
Families deserve a resale option that better respects both the value of their items and the value of their time. Quality children’s clothing, toys, books and gear also deserve more opportunity to reach the families who can use them next.
Gather & Grow brings sellers and shoppers together in one seasonal marketplace, creating a larger audience and a clearer path to sell what families have outgrown. With two ways to consign, practical prep support and a commitment to giving back, we’re building a resale experience rooted in quality, community and value.
Because nothing truly loved is ever finished growing.
Meet the Founder.
Alex Lindstrom
While a Colorado native, Alex has called Arizona home for nearly 20 years. She has fully embraced the desert life with her husband, a Tempe native, their two boys, two cats and a Great Dane.
When the cost of childcare made returning to work after the birth of her first son impractical, Alex became a stay-at-home parent. That season eventually led her to FIT4MOM, where she moved from client to instructor to owner, opening FIT4MOM North Fresno & Clovis in 2018. This experience confirmed something she already believed: meaningful community doesn’t simply appear. It is built through connection, consistency and intentional effort.
As her boys grew, Alex also experienced the imbalance of children’s resale firsthand. Selling piece by piece meant hours spent sorting, photographing, listing, messaging and coordinating pickups, with no guarantee of a buyer and often very little return. Even after doing all that work, she was still left with piles of perfectly good clothing.
Traditional resale stores could accept only a fraction, often limited by staffing, storage and sales-floor space. Gather & Grow grew from the belief that families deserve a better return on their effort, and that quality children’s items deserve a better way to keep moving.
Growing our community, one family at a time.
