The Butter Paddle

The Butter Paddle The Butter Paddle is an upscale gift and home accessories shop in Los Gatos, CA. This remarkable shop is run entirely by more than 70 trained volunteers.

The store is staffed entirely by volunteers, and all profits benefit Pacific Clinics which supports local children and families in crisis. The Butter Paddle Gift Shop, located in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, California, is the perfect place to buy that special gift. The Butter Paddle is a fund-raising arm of the EMQ Auxiliary, which has served the needs of local children in need since 1934. 10

0% of the profits from the shop are donated to Pacific Clinics, formerly Uplift Family Services and EMQ FamiliesFirst. We have no paid employees. Volunteers do the buying, staffing and displays. Since 1967, the shop has evolved to feature distinctive, upscale gifts, jewelry and home décor in all price ranges. Hallmarks of the shop are custom wrapping and helpful customer service.
