SANFORD — Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford  announces that it has received a generous donation from The Fabulous Find Resale Boutique in Kittery in the amount of $7,678. The funds will be used to support the agency’s programs for adult learners.

The Fabulous Find, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a boutique-style resale shop that partners with different worthy, local non-profit organizations each month. All profits are donated to the organizations selected by their board of directors for that month. Their overhead is low, and the more sales made, the bigger the check awarded at the end of the month. In order to make this community giving effort possible, volunteers log hundreds of hours each year. 

Since opening in July 2010, The Fabulous Find has given more than  $1.1 million in donations to more than 40 non-profit organizations in York County and the Seacoast area.

The shop is located at 139 State Road in Kittery and is open Monday-Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  They carry gently used clothing, jewelry and home accessories.  

The mission of LVGS is supporting the literacy needs of adults with free, confidential one-on-one tutoring by trained adult volunteers.  Whether the goal is to prepare for the high school equivalency exam, help children with homework or increase workplace literacy skills, LVGS offers opportunities for adult learners to improve their skills and change their lives.  

Director Ingrid Baily said LVGS is grateful to have strong community support, including from the United Way of York County.
