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-C3. 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. Donation Rules: Donations are received on the West Side of the building where the garage doors open.
*Medical Equipment for our home health equipment loan program should be brought directly to the home health room on the SE corner of the building.

The items that can not be sold at the thrift store will be donated to other community organizations whenever possible. All electrical items are inspected to make sure they are in good working condition before being placed in the shop. Most donated items will be quickly placed in the thrift shop for sale. Seasonal and holiday items are stored and placed out in the shop later in the year. Winter items typically go out for sale in October.
