Mountain Findings is proud to announce that 2024 was a standout year, marked by substantial and unique donations, resulting in a 10 percent increase in sales compared to the previous year. With over 340 hours of public shopping, totaling approximately 105 days, combined with nearly 12,000 volunteer hours, this half century old non-profit has been able to support the Highlands area through community partnership grants and senior high school scholarships.

Since its inception in 1969, Mountain Findings has generated over $6 million in funding through charitable donations, which has been reinvested into our local communities. This achievement is particularly notable given the humble beginnings of our thrift store mission, which initially generated annual revenues of approximately $200.
