Just on the edge of Broadway, Pick of the Litter offers vintage and thrifted clothes, jewelry, toys, books, and home goods. You can find a wide range of treasures, from 1980s windbreakers to handcrafted jewelry and 1940s swing music vinyls — all for a good cause.
The store, founded 42 years ago, is affiliated with the Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) and donates all of its proceeds to the organization’s Hope program. The program, which saves around 150 animals each month according to PHS & Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Communications Manager Colleen Crowley, aims at helping animals that require special care, like surgeries or behavior training.
“I just love that people enjoy both shopping here and that benefits the animals, and I love that people enjoy doing something really useful with something they might not need anymore,” Crowley said. “And so it’s just a whole nice cycle, and that it goes to the animals and some of their stories are just really heartwarming.”
