Cieara, Store Manager, Cashier
Cieara is a multi-talented powerhouse here at the Treasure Trove. When she’s not crafting captivating displays in the store, you’ll often find her charming customers at the register.
Joe, Pantry Manager
This Renaissance man tirelessly dedicates his time and talents to our mission, bringing his unique skills to almost everything. From creating promotional materials, social media posts, eye-catching in-store signage, and graphics for our digital displays, to welcoming visitors with a smile, and managing our community food pantry with Foodlink, Joe’s contributions are invaluable. When he’s not doing “computer stuff” or out facilitating new partnerships, you can often find him processing donations, pricing goods, and assisting patrons in the pantry.
Pinky
Pinkerton James (Pinky) is our resident Leopard Gecko. You’ll find his cozy home near the checkout, but don’t be surprised if he’s snoozing – geckos are nocturnal. If you’re lucky, you might catch him awake and exploring during one of your visits to the shop. Be sure to check out the info boards around his habitat to learn more about this fascinating creature.
Our all-volunteer Board of Directors is the heart of Finger Lakes Treasure Trove Inc, providing essential leadership and guidance to ensure our mission thrives.
