Our sales will be on hold until the health risk to our customers and volunteers is substantially reduced. We monitor the health situation continually and we look forward to returning to our monthly sales when we can offer them with as little risk as possible.
If you miss our sales and our fantastic offerings of items in three rooms, we have started a program we call Friends and Family. Anyone who wants to shop is definitely a Friend! Use the links below to schedule an appointment to shop our shelves in the Main Room or Children’s Room or email appointments@FOPAL.org to receive information on scheduling an appointment to shop FOPAL’s Bargain Room.

Use these links to “Shop our Shelves” on SignUp.com, the scheduling tool we’ll be using to assign participants with a volunteer to shop in the Main Room or Children’s Room. Bargain Room shoppers will be scheduled separately.
Special rules for these sales:
You must have exact change or a check for your purchases.
You must only shop from the shelves where items are priced. Boxes on the floor contain items in process and not yet priced so they should not be opened.
We are requesting that you come prepared to spend a minimum of $30 for the Main Room, and $20 for the Children’s Room. The Bargain Room has no minimum request.
Thank you for your continuing support of FOPAL!
