The Sacred Heart Thrift Store is a non-profit project designed to reduce waste and give back to the community. The premise is simple: items are donated to the store and re-sold at discount prices just like any other thrift store. The SHU Thrift Store is located in SC 123b in the Main Academic Building, and has a huge selection of gently used clothing, electronics, books, kitchen and dorm supplies, appliances, furniture, and other college essentials!

Most items are priced between 50 cents and $3, and all items can be purchased in cash or by using thrift store coupons, or any combination of the two. Coupons can be attained by completing at least one hour of community service through the Office of Volunteer Programs. One coupon valued at $1 will be given for each hour volunteered, with up to 8 coupons given per volunteer day. Coupons can be acquired in the Office of Volunteer Programs, or by making a donation to the store. Prices are set; no haggling in-store. Additionally, clothing, books, and some other items may be exchanged one-to-one for equivalent items.

All proceeds from the store will be donated to a different beneficiary each month. A final tally of monthly donations will be displayed on the first of each month in-store. Donations are welcome year round and can be dropped directly at the Thrift Store during normal hours.

The SHU Thrift Store was made possible through the Core Commitments initiative of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
