Volunteers are the foundation of the Thrift Shop’s success! If you like to have fun with cool people, support a great cause, can enthusiastically greet strangers without jumping on or sniffing them inappropriately, can help fetch items, then we want to hear from you! To learn more, please contact us.
Volunteer roles include sorting donations, merchandising, cashiering and greeting customers.
We adhere to all COVID safety measures, including masks, regularly sanitizing surfaces, and limiting the number of people who can be in the space.
- donate
We are especially grateful for donations of handbags, home décor, framed art, jewelry, and men’s clothing.
We are sorry but we are no longer able to accept book donations due to a lack of space.
All donation items for the Thrift Shop must be brought inside the Thrift Shop (1120 Solano Ave., Albany) during open hours only (Wednesday through Sunday 11AM–6PM).
