Benefactors
The Valley Thrift Shop is completely "Not-for-profit". We try to minimize our expenses, so we can maximize our support for local organizations. We currently support over twenty local groups, organizations, foundations, schools, and libraries and have given over $530,000 since our founding worth, in current day value, in excess of $850,000.
COVID has had a huge impact on us, as it has with other non-profits. We had to suspend our charity gifting while our operations was suspended. Thankfully, we expect to resume our giving this year.
