Frequently asked questions

Proceeds from sales at Furbish Thrift support animal welfare organizations in the Greater Richmond, Va. area. Since we opened in Feb. 2023, we have awarded thousands of dollars in quarterly grants to deserving 501(c)(3) organizations. We host monthly Benefit Weekends, where we donate 10% of sales proceeds to a selected animal rescue charity, and our volunteers create as much fanfare as possible around those events to increase both sales, and awareness of the organization’s good works. We built a dedicated pet adoption room for use by our animal rescue partners, and expect to surpass 175 adoptions in 2023. We have an accessible pet food and supply pantry that has provided thousands of pounds of free food to people who need it for their pets. We created a scholarship fund to raise money for Veterinary education. These are just some of our efforts so far, in our first year.

The community’s generosity provides an ever-changing influx of goods, and we do a lot of our intake, rearranging, cleaning, and other store tasks on days we’re closed to the public. We additionally do a lot of the behind-the-scenes work of managing animal welfare efforts for upcoming events. 

We use different color stickers to track how long an item has been in the store. When we decide it is appropriate, we put certain colors and categories on sale, based on our inventory. Stay tuned to our social media to find out about sales!
