Animal Shelter's New Benefit Shop Grand Opening

From SCCAS: On Saturday, Sept. 8, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (SCCAS) will celebrate the grand re-opening of its new upscale resale store, the Benefit Shop.

Supervisor John Leopold and Animal Shelter staff will celebrate the move with refreshments, door prizes and great shopping to benefit Santa Cruz County’s animal in need! Benefit Shop proceeds help Santa Cruz County’s animals and the animal shelter’s progressive programs such as Planned Pethood, a free and low-cost spay/neuter program, and the Extra Mile Fund, which allows medical rehabilitation for animals beyond what our shelter budget permits.

The new Benefit Shop is located at 870 17th Ave., Santa Cruz. Festivities begin at 10 a.m. Staffed by volunteers, the Benefit Shop always provides something new for bargain and treasure hunters alike. The items in the Shop are constantly changing, so you never know what you might find!

The Benefit Shop gratefully accepts clean items in good repair vintage and new: jewelry (real or costume), china, crystal, silver, linens, giftware, art, collectibles, small household furnishings, kitchenware, pet and garden supplies and more. We don’t accept clothes, shoes or books at this time due to lack of space. All donations are tax-deductible.

The Benefit Shop is open Thursday-Saturday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., and donations are accepted. Email TheSCCASBenefitShop@gmail.com or call 831-515-9139 for more information. Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SCCAS... to examples of unique items for sale, our amazing volunteers, adoptable pets visiting the Shop, and much more!
