Thrift Store
Students shop for no cost at the E&H Thrift Store.
Provided for Emory & Henry students, the E&H Thrift Store carries secondhand items such as clothing and accessories for all seasons, appliances, household items, books and more.
The store does not accept money for the exchange of items. Instead, students can choose to exchange for items in one of three ways:
- Volunteer to work a 30-minute shift at the store
- Donate a gently used item to the store
- Share a social media post about the E&H Thrift Store
The store is located in the basement of the Memorial Chapel. The operating hours for the store are Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. beginning Tuesday, September 5, 2023.
To support the E&H Thrift Store, donations will be accepted at the store during business hours or at the Appalachian Center for Civic Life, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
