All proceeds benefit both the Animal Shelter and other efforts to assist domesticated animals in Lincoln County.

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

Volunteers are always needed. Please call the store or stop in and pick up a volunteer application if you’d like to join the fun!

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.

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 at the County Fairgrounds in Newport. Thanks to our ever-growing ranks of donors, shoppers, and volunteers, Pick of the Litter has become a thriving success, filled with terrific bargains and fabulous finds. There are new items every day!

We gratefully accept donations. That's how we can help animals! Our donation center is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 3:00 PM and Sunday from noon to 3:00 PM.

Clean, good quality items in good repair and working order are greatly appreciated. Space and safety considerations mean that we cannot accept certain items, including:

• Unlaundered clothing, bedding, linens
• Used mattresses, box springs, futons, hide-a-bed sofas, foam pads, bed pillows
• Worn or soiled upholstered furniture, large particle board furniture
• Large appliances, older microwaves

Please note that there may be times when we will be unable to receive donations during normal hours. If you are making a trip from far away, or if your donations are large in size or quantity, it is best to make receiving arrangements in advance by calling the store at 541-574-1861.
