DON’T LET THAT DONATION BAG MOVE INTO YOUR HOUSE PERMANENTLY!

You sorted. You filled the bag. You tied the handles. Now comes the hardest part: remembering to take it with you!

Place your donation bag by the door or safely in your vehicle today so it’s ready to make the trip to Unique Finds this week. Otherwise, it may sit in the corner long enough to start receiving mail.

Unique Finds is closed today, so please hold onto your donations. We’ll begin accepting them again Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Bag packed. Reminder set. Fresh start loading!

CAN YOU FILL JUST ONE BAG?

This weekend’s Fill the Finds challenge doesn’t require reorganizing your entire house or becoming a decluttering expert overnight. We’re simply asking each follower to fill one bag with clean, gently used clothing or accepted household items!

Look for the things that are still useful but no longer useful to you: clothes that never make it out of the closet, extra kitchenware, home décor, books, linens, or other welcomed items. One bag may not feel like much, but if everyone joins in, those bags can fill a whole lot of shelves at Unique Finds!

Unique Finds is closed today, so use the weekend to sort and prepare your donations. We’ll begin accepting them again Monday at 9:00 a.m.

One bag from you could hold someone else’s next great find!

HELP SOMEONE PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD!

Day Seven of our Fill the Finds Campaign is Work Wear Wednesday, and we’re calling on those boots and shoes that may have retired early from your closet but still have plenty of shifts left in them!

Reliable footwear can make a meaningful difference throughout a long workday. Today, we’re requesting clean items in wearable condition, including:

• Work boots and work shoes (Steel Toes)
• Slip-resistant shoes
• Scrubs
• Professional clothing and workplace attire

If it’s clean, comfortable, and ready to report for duty, consider passing it along to someone who can put it back to work!

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

OUR LINEN SHELVES ARE FEELING A LITTLE THREADBARE!

Day Six of our Fill the Finds Campaign is Towel Tuesday, and we’re asking for clean, gently used towels, bedding, and linens to help replenish our shelves!

Perhaps you have a few bath towels that no longer match your bathroom, guest sheets waiting for guests who never arrive, or enough washcloths to supply a small hotel. If they’re clean and in good condition, we would love to give them a fresh start at Unique Finds!

Today’s wish list includes:

• Bath and hand towels
• Washcloths
• Sheets and pillowcases
• Blankets and bedding
• Other useful household linens

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. or take advantage of our Tuesday evening donation hours from 5:00–7:00 p.m.

A little fluff can do a lot of good!

WHAT’S COOKIN’ IN YOUR CUPBOARDS?

Is there a stack of dishes you never reach for? A baking pan that hasn’t seen an oven since the great cookie experiment of 2022? Or maybe you somehow own 47 spatulas but consistently use the same two?

For today’s Fill the Finds challenge, take a peek inside your cupboards and drawers for clean, gently used extras that could be useful to someone else!

We’re looking for:

• Dishes and drinkware
• Pots, pans and cookware
• Cooking and serving utensils
• Baking dishes and supplies
• Other useful household and kitchen items

Clear a little cupboard space, help us fill the shelves at Unique Finds, and give your extras a fresh start!

Donate today from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

WEEKEND CLOSET CLEAN-OUT CHALLENGE!

Your weekend mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find five gently used summer items hiding in your closet that you no longer wear. You know the ones: still cute, still useful, but somehow skipped every time you get dressed.

Set them aside and give them the chance to become someone else’s new favorite!

Unique Finds is closed today, but we’ll be ready to accept your donations beginning Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Five items. One cleaner closet. A whole lot of good. Are you up for the challenge?

FRESH START FRIDAY: GUYS, IT’S TIME TO FACE THE CLOSET!

You know those shirts you’re definitely going to wear again “someday”? Or the pants that have been patiently waiting for their big comeback since…well, no one remembers? Today might be their day, not to be worn by you, but to begin a fresh start with someone else!

For Day 2 of our Fill the Finds campaign, Unique Finds is asking for clean, gently used men’s clothing in standard and extended sizes. Clear a little space in your closet and help us fill some much-needed space on our racks!

Donations can be dropped off at Community Pathways (Unique Finds) during the following hours:

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

Every size deserves a fresh start!

OUR SHELVES NEED YOU - HELP US FILL THE FINDS!

Today marks Day 1 of our 30-Day Unique Finds Fill the Finds Campaign, and we need your help! Unique Finds is running low across nearly every department, and there’s plenty of room on our racks and shelves for your gently used goods to do a world of good.

Every donation helps keep affordable clothing and household essentials within reach for our community. Donations also support the free clothing and household-item stipends Community Pathways provides to individuals and families in need.

We are currently seeking clean, gently used, current-season:

• Clothing
• Footwear
• Work boots and work shoes
• Kitchenware and household essentials
• Bedding, towels and linens
• Books
• New personal-care items
• Clean, working small appliances

Ready to clear a little space and make a meaningful difference? Bring your donations to Community Pathways during our designated donation hours:

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

Let’s come together over the next 30 days and Fill the Finds! Every bag, box, and basket brings something useful into the hands and homes of our neighbors.
