Thrift Store: Inside Our Store | soroptimistanacortes.org

Our Thrift Shop

The Soroptimist Thrift Shop first opened in 1966. Little did anyone know back in 1966 how this decision would impact the Soroptimist International of Anacortes club. First, the thrift shop became its own service project by offering the community clean, high quality, previously owned goods at a reasonable price. Second, it became the engine that generated funds that made all of the other service projects possible. The shop is a separate 501(c)(3). The thrift shop is fully run by volunteers who are either Soroptimist of Anacortes members or community volunteers. It is with the ongoing support of the community that the shop has been so successful.

We sell bags of rags: Bags of misc. rags are $2.50 each & Bags of towels are $4.50 each.

Thank you for choosing to donate items to Soroptimist of Anacortes Thrift Shop! We greatly appreciate the contribution you make towards our commitment to support education and opportunity for women and girls worldwide.
