Thrift Store
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Better Together Animal Alliance Thrift Store offers the community quality, resale clothing, housewares, electronics, furniture and more at very affordable prices. Every day you can find a new treasure or bargain and your purchase benefits animals in need. We annually hold sales events for Halloween, Winter, Ski and Boarding Equipment, Christmas along with craft, toy, book and houseware blowouts.
We gratefully accept your gently-used donations. Please think of the animals when downsizing, moving, post-yard sale, or just freshening up the home. However, it does take money away from the animals to dispose of unsaleable items. Please only donate clean goods in sale-able condition.
