Our Founders
Oliver Jolis
Oliver has launched and managed successful, award-winning thrift stores supporting high-profile animal rescue groups in Austin, Texas and the San Francisco Bay area. Through his consultancy, OSJ Resale Solutions, Oliver has assisted non-profit organizations in Texas, Nevada, Hawaii and California launch and optimize existing thrift stores. The five stores Oliver has worked with, achieved gross revenue of $2.8 million in 2022 alone. Driven to empower animal rescue organizations by increasing their financial resources, support-base and profile in the community, Oliver credits cultivating relationships built on integrity for his track record of raising millions of dollars for animals most at-risk.
Benjamin Lambright
Benjamin founded We Read Together while living in the Bronx and, through his work with that organization, was able to help thousands of children learn to read. As the organization grew, it became widely regarded as one the most efficient and effective literary programs in NYC. Over his career as a fundraiser, Benjamin has raised millions of dollars for organizations of all kinds. His passion for bettering lives of both the animals and humans in his community drives him to seek out projects that have the possibility to radiate goodness into the community, and so he joyfully signed on to co-found Treasure Paws with Oliver Jolis.
