Nicole Richie Charity Auction

Nicole Richie is in a charitable mood! Nicole, in conjunction with HandMeDowns.com, is auctioning off some of Harlow’s belongings, with the proceeds going to the Richie-Madden Foundation. HandMeDowns.Com is a classified site dedicated to mothers who want to donate, buy, or sell their new or gently used baby gear. The auctions begin on Tuesday April 7, 2009 and will go on for ten days after that. Below you can see what Nicole had to say about her actuions via her Myspace blog.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to tell you about a charity hand-me-downs auction that I’m participating in that starts today on the site handmedowns.com. I’m proud to be donating some of Harlow’s baby clothes and other gear to this auction. The proceeds will go directly to The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation to help bring more opportunities to children in the US and abroad.

When I heard about this auction, I thought about how fortunate I am to be able to give Harlow so many things, from basic essentials to clothes. I have seen first-hand how many children lack the most basic items. I was so happy to clean out her closet and donate some of her hand-me-downs to this auction. I hope you will check it out.

I also encourage you to clean out your closets and garages and consider giving some of your stuff away too. There are so many families in need. Thank you for taking a look–I hope you enjoy the things as much as we did!

And please go to handmedowns.com and help support our cause.

Nicole
