How we give back
We love giving back to our community
Every year we are proud to donate all of our profits to many worthy organizations in our community. For the 2020/21 year we were able to donate over $20,000 to nearly 30 worthy groups. We work hard to make this happen but we can't do it alone. Our donations are possible, in part, due to the wonderful members of our community that donate items to the Thrift Shop. If you have gently used clothing, housewares, art, books, holiday items, etc. please consider donating them to us when you are ready to rehome them. If you have questions about what we accept please call the Bloomington Thrift Shop at 812-332-5851. Donations are accepted during store hours.
Don't have anything to donate? You can still help us by shopping at the Thrift Shop. You get great deals plus the knowledge that you are helping your community.
Thank you for helping us help the Monroe County area.
