Maxwell Thrift Shop
|
The MGOSC owns and operates the Maxwell Thrift Shop, which is a nonprofit organization. The Thrift Shop offers bargains on clothes, shoes, home goods, small furniture, appliances, electronics, sporting equipment, toys, books and so much more. Shop proceeds benefit the MGOSC's charitable programs, including scholarships for military dependents and spouses. Come in and enjoy the great buys and incredible savings! In 2013-2014, we raised over $60,000 for scholarships and charitable donations!
Consignments
Not only can you find a bargain, but you can also make some extra cash for yourself by consigning items that you no longer need. It's easy to consign your items at the Maxwell Thrift Shop! Simply purchase a contract for $0.25 and list your items to be consigned. One of our friendly volunteers will then assist you in checking your items in and can even help you determine an asking price. Clients may consign 14 items per contract (up to 10 items of which may be clothing). If you have more items than you can consign in one day, you can save time by purchasing additional contracts to fill out at home! The Thrift Shop retains 35% of the selling price per item, plus the $0.25 contract fee. Items not accepted changes daily and will be listed on a dry erase board in the store. It is best to bring extra items to sell in case any of your items are not being accepted. Please call ahead to verify room for big furniture items. We do not accept consignments on weeks that include a Federal Holiday. Do you need to sell something too big to bring into the shop? Are you looking to buy something we don't have in stock? Bring in an advertisement and we will post it on our sale board! Ads may be submitted at the consignment counter. Half-sheet ads cost $0.50 for one month and full sheet ads cost $1.00 per month. Please, no advertisements for houses or vehicles.
Donations
Our donation drop-box is located around the side of the Thrift Shop and is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Donations should be in good repair and electronics should work. All clothing donations should be CLEAN and have NO STAINS or HOLES. Don’t know what to do with all your shopping bags? We take those, too. If you need a receipt for donated items for taxes, just ask the Manager during normal business hours.
Volunteers
If your house is already free of clutter and you don't need any bargains, consider volunteering! Volunteers are always needed to help sort, price and organize items received. Why should you volunteer at the Maxwell Thrift Shop? The MGOSC gives away thousands of dollars every year to worthy causes, as well as funding a scholarship program for military dependents and spouses. The money for all of this comes from our Thrift Shop, which cannot remain open without the efforts of its volunteers! We need you, but what will you get in return? As a Thrift Shop volunteer you will meet lots of new people and get the first chance to see all of the great stuff coming into the shop every day. In addition, working at the Thrift Shop gives you valuable experience in retail sales and a great bullet to put on your resume. Don't worry if you have never volunteered before - Reeba and the staff will teach you everything you need to know! Thrift Shop Volunteers ~ Give an Hour ~ Give a Day.
