Thrift Shop

Assistance League of Reno-Sparks’ most important fundraiser is the Thrift Shop. The proceeds from the Thrift Shop at 1701 Vassar Street serve to offset operational costs and are directed toward our philanthropic programs.

Donate your gently used items to the Thrift Shop. Instead of going the work of having a yard sale, drop off your items at the Thrift Shop and receive your tax deductible form.

Shop in the Thrift Shop. It is clean and has great items that are priced to sell.

Finally, pass our name on. Let your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors know where we are and how great the Thrift Shop really is.

Become a member and feel the love. Giving through contributions, shopping or donating is wonderful, but giving through membership is priceless. Friendship and support, using and learning skills, and personal investment to make the organization and programs run are just a few of the benefits.

You can give a cash donation to the Senior Sampler philanthropic program but don’t miss the chance to shop in the Senior Sampler Gift Shop or at the Senior Sampler Gift Shop Holiday Craft Fair. The talented senior crafters have created a wonderful variety of items. It won’t be hard to find items for yourself and for gifts. The best part, 100% of the proceeds are returned to the senior crafter.

So, shop in the Gift Shop and at the Holiday Fair, and don’t forget to pass our name on. Let your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors know where we are and how great the Senior Sampler Gift Shop is.
