The Ladies of the Aspen Thrift Shop: Wishing you a Happy Thrift-mas
The Ladies of the Aspen Thrift Shop wish the community a Happy Thrift-mas! Please remember the Thrift Shop has treasures small and large to round out your holiday shopping.
In this, the last month of our 75th anniversary year, the Ladies send their sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who help us realize our mission, to sell donated goods at affordable prices, to make grants to other nonprofit organizations in the Roaring Fork Valley and to provide scholarships to Roaring Fork Valley area high school graduates. We are honored to be of service throughout the valley.
In December 2024, the Aspen Thrift Shop provided funds to the following: Crystal River Youth Ballet; Dance Initiative; Symphony in the Valley; Basalt Education Foundation; FocusedKids; Aspen Center for Environmental Studies; Community Health Services; GrassRoots Television; Harvest for Hunger; Hunter Creek Historical Foundation; Lift-Up; Pathfinders; River Bridge Regional Center; Shining Stars Foundation CampSmashbox at Snowmass Chapel; and YouthZone.
Further information on the Aspen Thrift Shop and these organizations may be found on their websites. Many of our friends and neighbors participate in end-of-year giving. If you are interested, the Aspen Thrift Shop accepts cash donations as well as on our website, through the City Market Community Rewards (The Thrift Shop of Aspen, Organization #YR224).
Happy holidays from The Ladies of the Aspen Thrift Shop
