OUR SHELVES ARE SENDING OUT AN S.O.S.: SUPPORT OUR SECTIONS!

Day 28 of our Fill the Finds Campaign is our Last Tuesday Push, and a few areas of Unique Finds are still looking a little lonely!

Take a peek at some of our visibly low sections, then check your closets, cupboards, and linen cabinets for clean, high-quality items you no longer need. Your useful extras can help us refill these spaces and provide more choices for every Unique Finds shopper, including Community Pathways members using their clothing and household-item stipends.

Before donating, give each item the Friend Test: Is it clean, in good condition, and something you would feel good passing along to someone you care about?

We’re open for donations twice today:

• 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
• 5:00–7:00 p.m.

The shelves have spoken; let’s show them what our community can do!

READY, SET…BACK TO ROUTINE!

Day 27 of our Fill the Finds Campaign is the Back-to-Routine Refresh, and we’re looking for the practical items that help everyday life run a little more smoothly.

As schedules begin filling up again, take a quick look around your home for useful extras that have quietly fallen out of your own routine: the shirt that never makes the weekly lineup, the shoes waiting on the sidelines, the extra towels filling the linen closet, or the kitchenware enjoying a very extended break.

Today’s wish list includes:

• Clean, current-season clothing
• Everyday shoes, work shoes and work boots
• Dishes, cookware and kitchen utensils
• Towels, washcloths and linens
• Other practical household necessities

Before donating, give each item the Friend Test: Is it clean, in good condition, and something you would feel good passing along to someone you care about?

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Refresh your space, restock our shelves, and help someone else feel ready for the routines ahead!

GIVE THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO RECEIVE

Day 26 of our Fill the Finds Campaign is about something at the heart of Unique Finds: dignity and choice.

Community Pathways members can use monthly clothing and household-item stipends to shop at Unique Finds. Those stipends allow each person to choose what fits their body, meets their needs, reflects their style, and feels right for their home, just like any other shopper.

Receiving an item at no cost does not mean someone should have to settle for something stained, damaged, heavily worn, or no longer useful. Everyone deserves clean, high-quality choices they can feel comfortable using and proud to bring home.

As you select your donations, ask yourself:

• Is it clean and ready to use?
• Is it in genuinely good condition?
• Does it still have value and usefulness to offer?
• Would I feel good giving it to someone I care about?

Unique Finds is closed today, so please thoughtfully set aside qualifying items and bring them beginning Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Dignity is not something we donate - it already belongs to every person. Thoughtful donations simply help us honor it.

BIG CLEAN-OUT ENERGY- NO BIG ITEMS REQUIRED!

Day 25 of our Fill the Finds Campaign is the Weekend Small-Spaces Sort!

Take a quick look through the little spaces that tend to collect a surprising number of things: shelves, cupboards, counters, closets, and those drawers we open only when absolutely necessary.

You might discover:

• Current-season small home décor
• Practical household necessities
• Useful kitchenware
• Other clean, high-quality items you no longer need

Please remember that Unique Finds does not accept furniture. Today’s challenge is all about those smaller, useful pieces that can fit on our shelves and become someone else’s next great find.

Give each item the Friend Test: Is it clean, in good condition, and something you would feel good passing along?

Unique Finds is closed today, so set qualifying items aside and bring them during our weekday donation hours:

• Monday–Friday: 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
• Tuesday evenings: 5:00–7:00 p.m.

Sort a small space. Make room for a big difference.

HIGH FIVE - IT’S FIVE FINDS FRIDAY!

Day 24 of our Fill the Finds Campaign comes with one simple challenge: find five useful, accepted items in your home that you no longer need!

Search the closets, cupboards, bookshelves, or linen cabinet for five possible finds, perhaps a shirt you never wear, an extra coffee mug, a book you’ve already finished, a towel that never enters the rotation, or a kitchen tool with a suspiciously light workload. 😄

Before adding each item to your donation bag, give it the Friend Test: Is it clean, in good condition, and something you would feel good giving to a friend?

Once you’ve found all five, tag a friend and challenge them to find their five, too! If everyone contributes a handful of quality items, together we can fill a whole lot of racks and shelves.

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Five finds. Five fresh starts. One fuller Unique Finds!

BEFORE YOU DONATE IT, PUT IT THROUGH THE FRIEND TEST!

We truly appreciate everyone who chooses Unique Finds when clearing out closets, cupboards, and storage spaces. Before placing something in your donation box, take one more look and imagine offering it to a friend:

• Would I wrap this up as a gift, or disguise it at the bottom of the box?

• Would my friend wear it out in public, or save it for painting the garage?

• Is this pan ready to cook dinner, or permanently wearing the last one?

• Would they curl up with this blanket, or wonder what might be living in it?

• Does this appliance actually work, or does it just make an interesting noise?

• Would they proudly display it, or suddenly remember they’re “out of storage space”?

• Is it gently used, or has it lived several very full lives?

If an item is clean, useful, in good condition, and ready to be enjoyed exactly as it is, it may be a great fit for Unique Finds!

YES, PLEASE!

• Clean, gently used, current-season clothing and footwear
• Household items and kitchenware
• Current-season small home décor
• Bedding, towels and linens
• Books, CDs and DVDs
• Personal-care items
• Clean, working small appliances
• Work boots and work shoes

PLEASE LEAVE THESE OUT!

• Damaged, stained or heavily worn items
• Clothing or décor more than eight weeks ahead of the season
• Toys, games or puzzles unless new in the box
• Safety or medical items
• Furniture
• Heavy tools, machinery or gas-powered equipment
• Garage-sale leftovers with prices attached
• Wire hangers
• Stemware

Our donation standards help ensure every shopper has clean, high-quality choices they can feel comfortable and proud bringing home.

Donate accepted items today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

When the Friend Test produces an enthusiastic “Yes, they’d love this!”, you may have found your next Unique Finds donation.

HELP US PUT SOME SOLE BACK ON OUR SHELVES!

Day 22 of our Fill the Finds Campaign is Sole Support, and we’re asking for clean, wearable footwear for everyday life and the workday!

Perhaps you have sneakers that never make the starting lineup, work shoes that retired before they were worn out, or boots with plenty of miles still ahead. Those unused pairs could help someone else step into their day feeling comfortable, prepared, and confident.

Today’s wish list includes:

• Everyday shoes and sneakers
• Work shoes
• Work boots
• Slip-resistant footwear

Before donating, please give each pair the Friend Test: Is it clean, in good condition, and something you would feel good giving to a friend? Quality footwear helps ensure every Unique Finds shopper has dignified choices they can feel proud to wear.

Donate clean, wearable footwear today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Your former pair could be someone else’s perfect fit!

TURN YOUR HOUSEHOLD EXTRAS INTO SOMEONE ELSE’S HELPFUL FINDS!

Today’s Fill the Finds focus is Household Help Monday, and we’re looking for clean, high-quality household necessities and kitchenware that still have plenty of usefulness left to share.

Maybe you have extra dishes stacked behind the ones you always use, a set of mixing bowls that rarely gets mixed into the rotation, or household essentials that are simply taking up space. Those practical extras could become meaningful choices for another household!

We’re especially looking for:

• Dishes, bowls and drinkware
• Pots, pans and bakeware
• Cooking and serving utensils
• Towels, bedding and linens
• Other clean, useful household necessities

These donations help stock Unique Finds with everyday items that Community Pathways members can select using their monthly household-item stipends. That means each person or family can choose what best fits their own home, needs, and preferences—with dignity.

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Your extras can help Fill the Finds and help another household find exactly what it needs.

SUNDAY DONATION MYTH BUSTER!

MYTH: “Unique Finds can find a use for everything I donate.”

FACT: Although every donation is given with good intentions, damaged, stained, or heavily worn items cannot be placed on our sales floor.

We want every Unique Finds shopper, including Community Pathways members using their free clothing and household-item stipends, to have access to clean, high-quality items they can feel comfortable and proud choosing.

As you sort today, give each item our Friend Test:

• Is it clean?
• Is it in good condition?
• Is it free from stains, damage, and excessive wear?
• Would I feel good giving it to a friend?

If the answer is yes, it may be ready for a fresh start at Unique Finds!

We’re closed today, so please review your items and bring qualifying donations beginning Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Thoughtful donations help us protect dignity, preserve choice, and Fill the Finds with quality.
