Today is the day!

06/02/2026

’Twas the night before opening, and all through the store,
Volunteers were still bustling, preparing much more.
The clothing was hung on the racks with great care,
In hopes that tomorrow, new shoppers would be there.

The mannequins stood in their outfits so neat,
Ready to welcome each friend they would meet.
The shelves were all stocked with treasures galore,
Each item awaiting a new life once more.

The signs had been mounted, the floors swept just right,
Thanks to hardworking hands that stayed late into the night.
What started as meetings and dreams months before,
Had grown into something worth waiting for.

The donations, the sorting, the laughter and cheer,
Had brought a shared vision steadily near.
Each shelf and each corner told part of the tale,
Of a community effort determined to prevail.

And though there were moments with challenges too,
The support from our neighbours helped carry us through.
Now the countdown is ending, the waiting is done,
And tomorrow at ReFIND, the fun has begun!

As we wait for tomorrow and opening day,
We give God the glory in every way.
For the vision, the friendships, the help we’ve come through,
Every blessing we’ve witnessed has come first from You.

So come find a bargain, a treasure, a gem,
A vintage surprise or a keepsake to mend.
For every great find has a story to share,
And tomorrow those stories begin at ReFIND with care.

📦 Donating to ReFIND? Here’s How It Works! 📦

We’re excited to begin accepting donations and have made the process as simple as possible!

➡️ Bring your donations to the side entrance on Culver Street (look for the double gray doors and our Donation Drop-Off sign).

🔔 Ring the doorbell located to the left of the doors.

🙋 One of our volunteers will come out to greet you and assist with your donation.

✨ To help us process donations efficiently, please bring clean, gently used items that are in good working condition.

⏰ Donations are accepted during store hours:
• Tuesday–Friday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Saturday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

🚫 Please do not leave donations outside when the store is closed.

It’s official—we’ve got our name on the building! 🎉

One more big milestone checked off the list as our new ReFIND Thrift Shop signs were installed this weekend!

A special thank you to the Stripe Art team for spending their Saturday evening getting the job done!

Seeing the ReFIND name on the building makes everything feel a little more real, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone through our doors on June 2.

The answer is…EDDIE BAUER!

We were so fortunate to be able to purchase the store fixtures, and they’ve played such a big part in bringing our vision to life. The uniformity throughout the store was always something we envisioned, and we can’t wait to show you!

A little throwback to February, when the ReFIND crew had our very first meeting and the idea of ReFIND was officially put into motion.

We were thrilled to score our first FREE finds, and we even took a leap of faith by purchasing store fixtures from a retail store that was going out of business — before we even had a building secured… but we had a vision!

Little did we know then just how much those finds would help bring our vision to life!

Can you guess which store we got the store fixtures from?

Do you have a green thumb? We are looking for someone to tackle our overgrown gardens!
