YORK — York Public Library has been selected as one of three nonprofit beneficiaries of The Fabulous Find’s profits for September. The library encourages patrons and community members to donate and shop at the Kittery thrift store from Sept. 1-30.

The Fabulous Find, a boutique-style resale shop on State Road in Kittery, is a nonprofit organization under “A Caring Community.”

Each month, the upscale thrift store partners with up to three local nonprofit organizations, sharing profits evenly among them at the end of the month.

Since opening in 2010, The Fabulous Find has awarded an impressive $2.75 million to more than 150 local nonprofits.

“There are plenty of ‘fabulous’ things to love about The Fabulous Find,” said Michelle Sampson, executive director of York Public Library. “Not only is it a wonderful resale boutique where you’ll find designer clothing, jewelry, footwear, and accessories for both men and women; artwork and home decor; and antiques and collectibles, but it has been astoundingly generous to area nonprofits in its 14-year history.”

“We are honored to have been chosen along with Friends of Fort McClary and Ogunquit Public Library,” she added.

York Public Library is owned by The York Public Library Association (YPLA), which supplements town funding that currently covers approximately 65% of operating expenses.

Library patrons and friends are encouraged to donate gently worn upscale clothing, jewelry, home decor, and other items to The Fabulous Find and to shop at the store in support of York Public Library, Friends of Fort McClary, and Ogunquit Public Library.

The Fabulous Find is located at 139 State Road in Kittery and is open Wednesday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
