Friendly Finds sale at Gwynedd Friends Meeting, formerly AFSC Flea Market continues to donate all profits to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)*.
Future Friendly Finds sales in 2026 are March 7th, May 30th and December 5th, the largest sale of the year.
Many hands are needed to continue the Friendly Finds Sale.  Everyone who wishes to participate in the work of Friendly Finds Sale is welcome. Gwynedd encourages you to join in this meaningful work. Extra Friendly Finds Volunteer days are posted on the Gwynedd Meeting calendar. Volunteers are always needed from Friday afternoon to set up, through Saturday afternoon for clean-up. It's helpful to let Chris know if you are planning to help. Email: Chris Mrozinski

Friendly Finds Donation Guidelines - please drop off prior to the week of the sale:
  • Gently used men and women’s clothing

  • Household items in safe, workable condition
  • Cookbooks
  • Coffee Table Books for December sale only
Drop off Fresh baked goods on Friday or early Saturday on day of sale (please label if containing or processed with nuts, or if Gluten Free)

We need and appreciate your very generous contributions!
Note: Because of the amount of work necessary to prepare for the sales, we can’t accept items on the Friday before, or the Saturday of the sale except baked goods. Please contact Chris Mrozinski in advance with information about items if needed to bring late. Also, contact Chris if it is necessary for him to pick up items or with any other questions.
 
We thought it would also help you to provide a list of items NOT to contribute.

Our customers are choosey about their purchases. To avoid wasting volunteer hours on sorting through and disposing of things that experience tells us will not sell:

Please do NOT contribute:
  • Mattresses or bed frames
  • Clothing or linens pilled, torn, faded or have holes or odor
  • Cassettes and VHS tapes
  • Books, except for cookbooks, or “coffee table” books for the December sale only
  • Chipped or cracked dishware and glassware, ceramics, or decorative items
  • Electronics with frayed or missing wiring or parts

*Gwynedd Meeting continues to honor the foundational work of AFSC starting in the late 60’s of our late member, Beth Binford, the spirit behind the sales. Through donations from Gwynedd and other sources, dedicated and hardworking volunteers strive to recycle and reuse unwanted clothes and other items to raise money for AFSC.

Welcome

Welcome!

 Welcome 1        

Folks come to us looking for a spiritual home. Please visit. Quakers believe in the presence of God in everyone. Regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or reason, you will find a warm welcome from us.
 
In addition to our belief in that of God in everyone, we believe in direct communion with the Divine. In other words, Spirit speaks and guide us directly. Our worship is in silence as we wait expectantly for that connection.
 
In worship we gather in silence, quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and seek the source of love and truth in our lives. At times, Friends feel called to stand and speak a message given from the divine.
 
We eagerly welcome believers of all faiths as fellow members of God's universal community. Our Meeting for Worship service, Sundays at 9:30 AM, is open to everyone in person and on a Zoom link. We also have Worship on Wednesday evenings at 8PM on the same Zoom link.
 
We enter our worship rooms quietly. The worship begins as you enter in silence. There are no assigned seats. We do not have a pastor who leads us.
 
We Quakers bear witness to our core beliefs through direct action on a variety of social concerns, like housing the homeless, supporting food banks, and standing vigil for peace. We work locally, nationally, and internationally. Quakers often say, “Our service begins when worship ends.”
