VOLUNTEER

TO OUR VALUED PICK OF THE LITTER SHOPPERS & DONORS:
Pick of the Litter is now open for both shopping & donations on Fridays & Saturdays during our usual hours (store 10–4, receiving 10–3:30). We are now also accepting donations on Thursdays!

Donations times and quantities may be limited - call for details.

We continue to be closed for shopping on Thursdays for now.

We encourage you to call the store at 541-574-1861 for further updates in the coming weeks.
We also encourage you to consider volunteering at POTL if you have a few spare hours a week. The faster we can build up our volunteer team, the faster we can add Thursdays back to the top-notch shopping experience our customers have enjoyed for the past 15 years.

Please download a volunteer application from this page and bring it to the store at your earliest opportunity.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

To support and advance the health and well-being of domesticated animals in Lincoln County, Oregon

The flagship of FOLCAS’s fundraising operations is the Pick of the Litter thrift store, opened in July 2009 in a building on the County Commons in Newport. Pick of the Litter is famous throughout Lincoln County and beyond for its terrific bargains and fabulous finds, with new items every day. 

After a five-month hiatus beginning in mid-March 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Pick of the Litter reopened on August 27, 2020, at our new location at NE First & Fogarty.

Pick of the Litter, established in 2009, is a volunteer operation, except for the store manager and part-time volunteer coordinator. Its success is entirely due to the cadre of hard-working and dedicated community members who give generously of their time and skills.​

Our volunteer team and the hours they donate to our efforts each month continue to grow, but we can always use more help.  Every net dollar we earn through store sales and donations helps Lincoln County animals.
