Where to thrift, donate, volunteer and meet your new neighbors, starting in Roseville and working out through Placer County and its neighbors.
Goodwill's regional stores run holiday sales like this Presidents' Day half-off clothing day (a past sale, shown as an example), and every week one tag color is 50% off.
Check the Color of the Week page before you go; it changes each Sunday.
It's late October in Placer County. Closets are getting swapped from summer to fall, Elks lodges are lining up steakburns and Thanksgiving dinners, and veterans groups from Roseville to Auburn are getting ready for November 11.
The Assistance League of Greater Placer's Auburn thrift shop is run by volunteers, and its sales help fund 13 local programs.

Next Feeding the Foothills volunteer orientation
Some of the quickest ways to feel at home in a new town are a Saturday thrift run, a pancake breakfast at the Elks lodge or a volunteer shift at the food bank. Placer County has all three, and most of it is within a few minutes of Roseville.
This guide starts with Placer County (Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn, Granite Bay and Loomis) and then takes a shorter look at Sacramento, El Dorado, Nevada, Sutter and Yuba counties. The first half covers thrift, charity, consignment, vintage and the Habitat ReStore. The second half covers lodges, veterans posts, service clubs, the food bank and the Salvation Army, with what newcomers can join and the public events coming up this fall.

If you're downsizing or moving across town, the Habitat ReStore takes furniture and appliances, and the Goodwill Donation Xpress sites make drop-offs quick.
