Our Meads store attracts some wonderful donations including high-end items such as antique bric-a-brac and designer clothing. We also accept and sell electrical items.

Most of our volunteers have been with us for several years and will be happy to chat with you about local gems to explore.

We're dog-friendly and welcome your four-legged friend into our store.
