Thrift Shop

When you hear the word "backpack," some of you may think of Dora the Explorer and some of you may think, oh NO, school time again. When the folks at the Attic hear "backpack" the thought turns to filling 600 backpacks with school supplies for area children. In 2008, 500 backpacks were given out. In 2009, 585 were assembled and distributed. This year, the need is even greater, with the goal being 600 backpacks. One wonderful patron of the Attic brought in bags of pencils, pens, paper, markers, etc. that she had purchased from a huge sale at Staples-for that, Thank You so much. If you have the means to provide some supplies so children can start school with the same supplies as all the other kids, please bring them to the Attic.

As you visit the Thrift Shop you may find different faces on different days. You might even see some new faces. The volunteers have worked hard to fill the spots left open by summer vacations. This has caused some changes, but the good news is that the shop will remain open the same days. Please note that the hours for Wednesday have been changed. The shop will now open at 11:00 on Wednesday. The hours for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday will remain the same. Thank you to all of our volunteers. Without them there would be no Out of Your Attic Thrift Shop.

Do you have any clothing that your children have outgrown? Many families are hunting for back to school clothing for their children.
