Who We Are

​

ALL VOLUNTEER

ALL PROFITS DONATED TO LOCAL CHARITIES

​

The Ypsilanti Thrift Shop has been serving our community since 1942.  We are the only all-volunteer, registered 501(c)3 thrift shop in Ypsilanti. No one who works here gets paid, and we donate all profits to local charities.  As a group of dedicated volunteers, we work together to meet our major goals:

​

• Providing affordable, gently used  clothing and household items to our community; many clothing items are priced between $2 and $5. 

• Donating funds to various local organizations that provide for the needy in our area.  For example from 2016-2021, we donated nearly $354,000.

• Creating a pleasant, fun shopping atmosphere for our customers.

 

We sell clothing and shoes for men, women, and children; jewelry; household items, linens, decorative items, small electronics, and countertop appliances; books, games, CDs, and records;  holiday items; toys; sewing and knitting supplies and craft items.​
