Gifford Auxiliary Thrift Shop — Local services in Randolph

One of the best and least expensive thrift stores in Vermont. Volunteer - staffed; I believe volunteers run it as well. One can feel virtuous shopping here, as profits go to Gifford Memorial Hospital, The small hospital next-door. There’s a plaque behind the desk commending the thrift store for raising large sums of money for the hospital. Gifford has been able to buy new equipment with The money the thrift store raises. The prices are extremely reasonable, things are clean and easy to find, and you never know what you’ll find here. There’s a (little) section with somewhat higher priced items— Mostly antiques. You can drop your own unwanted clothing toys etc. off on the back deck. They don’t take computers, microwave ovens at Cetera. It’s worth a call to ask them whether they will accept the things that you want to give them If in doubt. It’s mostly a matter of common sense, don’t bring them an old mattress or a washing machine. The only difficulty with this thrift stores that it is so popular and well-known that it’s often crowded, especially in the mornings. Collectors no doubt swing down to find possible antiques and other valuables in the early part of the day. But its is so worth a trip; I have found some very interesting things here and Many people come here to buy all their clothing. It’s a small place, and can feel claustrophobic sometimes. Depends on how many people are in it. It’s also difficult to find plus size clothing here that is worth having because obviously people buy it up in the mornings. If you don’t mind shopping with quite a few other people, come early in the day. The people are immensely kind. Recently I foolishly lost $50 in cash in the parking lot. Some angel found it and gave it back to the Ladies behind the desk, who gave it to me when I said I had lost money on what the amount was. Not only I, but the people who work there and many others rejoiced over this and the unexpected kindness and goodness of some people ! I’m probably foolish to put out a review like this because more people will be there but everyone should get a chance to visit a small town Vermont thrift store of this kind once in their lives. They do not accept credit cards or debit cards; Cash or ...

I thought it was an okay place and I'd rather donate there than a lot of other place d I had some really nice stuff I brought in and the guy said that it they weren't accepting donations and come back tomorrow like there's some really cool winter gear that I'm trying to give away and kind of went out of my way to do it and it couldn't even leave it there well I guess I'm bringing e somewhere else or I'll just put them on from free or for maybe you just helps me make some money thanks...

Fell in love with this store as the prices are very reasonable, they're well organized, it's neat, great variety and everyone found something they were either looking for or just had to have. The proceeds go to help a good cause. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I really enjoyed...
