​
What if I can't find my FTMN Member ID?
If you are registered with us and cannot find your member ID, try searching your email inbox for our 'Welcome to the FTMN Family' email. If you still cannot find it, leave that field blank when requesting an appointment.
Is there any cost to shop at Abundant Goods?
Registered families are welcome to shop free of cost!
What type of items do you carry?
We have clothing, shoes, diapers, wipes, hygiene products, blankets, toys, books, and more! Our inventory can fluctuate, so there is no guarantee of items or sizes.
Can my kids come with?
Kiddos are welcome to come with! We have a small selection of toys and books for them to play with while you shop. All parents/caregivers are responsible for supervising their children. Children must stay in the Abundant Goods room with the parent/caregiver.
What sizes do you stock?
For clothing and shoes, we strive to have inventory for infant through adult sizes. Our inventory can fluctuate, so there is no guarantee of items or sizes.
How many items can I get at once?
While we don't have a specified limit, we ask you to be respectful of other families who are in need of items while making sure you get everything your kiddos need as well. Our team will work with you during your appointment to guide you on number of items. Please note that we will need to document all items given for our inventory purposes.
Are the items new or used?
We have a mix of new and gently used items. We want kiddos to be clothed in dignity, and therefore, are strict on what used items we accept. We do our best to avoid items that have stains, holes, tears, or obvious wear.
Can I bring items to donate with to my appointment?
Yes, you are welcome to bring donations during your appointment. Please review our donation guidelines and accepted items prior to coming on our Donations Page.
