York Public Library has been selected as one of three nonprofit beneficiaries of THE FABULOUS FIND profits for the month of September, and we encourage Library patrons and community members to donate and shop at the Kittery thrift store from September 1-30.
The Fabulous Find is a boutique-style resale shop on State Road in Kittery, and itself a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (under “A Caring Community”). The upscale thrift store partners with up to three different worthy, local nonprofit organizations each month. At the end of that month, profits are shared evenly between the groups chosen by The Fabulous Find Board members.
The Fabulous Find has awarded a staggering 2.75 million dollars to more than 150 local nonprofits since it first opened in 2010.
There are plenty of ‘fabulous’ things to love about The Fabulous Find. Not only is it a wonderful resale boutique where you’ll find designer clothing, jewelry, footwear, and accessories for both men and women; artwork and home decor; and antiques and collectibles, but it has been astoundingly generous to area nonprofits in its fourteen year history.
We are honored to have been chosen along with Friends of Fort McClary and Ogunquit Public Library.
York Public Library is owned by The York Public Library Association (YPLA) which owns the building and supplements town funding that currently provides approximately 65% of operation expenses.
Library patrons and friends are encouraged to donate gently worn upscale clothing, jewelry, home decor and other items to The Fabulous Find and to shop at the store in support of York Public Library. Mention the Library when donating… and spread the word!
The Fabulous Find is located at 139 State Road in Kittery and is open Wednesday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
