"We're a community resource providing both a place to donate things that would otherwise go to the landfill, and turning them around ... for people who are looking for cool finds. The ultimate goal is this underwrites our bigger mission. It remains an important fundraising strategy for (the Preservation Action Council)."
"What started 30 years ago as a series of neighborhood garage sales has found a home at 57 Barack Obama Blvd., joining Good Karma Bikes, Happa's Brewing Company, Local Color and a dog park in activating the area."
Found SJ Rummage & Reuse Hub is a 5,000-square-foot thrift shop in San Jose's Creekside neighborhood that sells estate furniture, vintage china, clothing, and unique items. All proceeds benefit the Preservation Action Council of San Jose, a nonprofit dedicated to safeguarding the city's cultural heritage and buildings. The shop provides a second life for items that would otherwise reach landfills while generating fundraising revenue for the organization's preservation mission. Operating Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the space evolved from 30-year-old neighborhood garage sales into a permanent community resource. Located at 57 Barack Obama Boulevard, the warehouse is rented from Google and joins other businesses in revitalizing the Creekside area.
