Thrift Shop

The UConn Health Center Auxiliary Thrift Shop, located in West Hartford at 270 Park Road, opened in 1993. Like the gift shop, the thrift shop is run by volunteers, and together the shops’ proceeds are the Auxiliary’s primary revenue source.

The thrift shop provides an avenue to donate unused items and is a boutique in its own right. Donations come from individuals and retail stores. The offerings include high-quality used clothing and shoes for men, women and children, jewelry, books, and housewares. Unsold or unwanted clothing is donated to other organizations that assist those in need.

The Auxiliary has arranged for a regular thrift shop pickup, Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Food Court at the UConn Health Center.
