Humane Society of Elmore County News
As a non-profit organization fund-raising is at the top of our priorities so that we can continue our mission to help so many Elmore County animals in need. The Tail’s End Thrift Store co-located with our Shelter at 255 Central Plank Road, Wetumpka, AL, is our single-largest fund raising activity and 100% Volunteer run. All proceeds from our Thrift Store come to the Shelter so that we can stay operational, do all that is necessary for our pets, improve our facility and so much more. To say that our Thrift Store is absolutely vital to us is an understatement!
The store is open for shopping Thu, Fri and Sat from 9-3 and you might be amazed at what you can find there. Our store carries donated clothing, furniture, collectibles, art, books, jewelry, appliances, electronics, furniture and so much more. We are incredibly grateful to all who donate items and all donations are tax-deductible. Our Volunteers are there to receive donations Thu, Fri and Sat from 9 am – Noon. Please do not leave donations outside of these hours as items left outside are subject to theft and the weather. Please note that we do not accept stained/dirty/dry-rotted clothing, broken appliances/tools/electronics/furniture, old, heavy style televisions, old style computer monitors, stained mattresses & obviously soiled or damaged furniture.
Of course, our Thrift Store wouldn’t even be open if not for our incredible group of dedicated Volunteers who are there to receive/sort/price/place and sell donated items. We are indeed blessed with Volunteers who give of their time so that all of the ‘profit’ goes to our shelter to ensure we can continue helping sick, injured and homeless pets. These Volunteers are running a first-class Thrift Store operation and if you have not been there to shop, you are truly missing out as there is something for everyone.
With spring yard sales and house cleaning starting up we will be receiving even more donations so can always use more Volunteers to help. Besides volunteering during the store’s normal hours of operation there are opportunities on Mon, Tue or Wed with sorting, pricing and placing items so all the new items are ready for sale by Thursday. Please just stop by between 9 am – 3 pm on a Thu, Fri or Sat to check it out and talk to the folks about volunteering. While you are there, please also thank our Volunteers for their endless hard work operating our Thrift Store as all proceeds go to our shelter to ensure we can be there for all the pets that come to us needing our help.
To our shoppers/donors/supporters – you will find super deals and high-quality items at our Thrift Store. Our Volunteers take great effort in cleaning items, making sure clothes are all in good condition & checking that electronics/appliances actually work. Shoppers can feel confident in getting nice items when you come shop with us while also supporting what we think is a great cause! Many thanks to all who donate items to and shop at our Tail’s End Thrift Store – we greatly appreciate your support!
