The flagship of FOLCAS’s fundraising operations is the Pick of the Litter thrift store, opened in July 2009.
Pick of the Litter is famous throughout Lincoln County and beyond for its terrific bargains and fabulous finds, with new items every day.
Rather not leave the house and stand in a checkout line? Browse the selections in Pick of the Litter’s eBay store.
All proceeds benefit both the Animal Shelter and our programs to assist domesticated animals in Lincoln County.

VOLUNTEER
Pick of the Litter, established in 2009, is a volunteer operation, except for the store managers and part-time support staffer. Its success is entirely due to the cadre of volunteers who give generously of their time and skills.
Our volunteer team and the hours they donate to our efforts each month continue to grow, but we can always use more help. Every net dollar we earn through store sales and donations helps Lincoln County animals.
