This Monday, September 23, our campus thrift store Griff’s Thrifts opened for the semester.
Griff’s Thrifts is located in the basement of the Palisano Pavilion across from the Smoothie Lab. Their hours of operation are 12-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
During these hours, students can donate clothes, and look through and take home the wide variety offered.
As for the rules of the thrift store, students are able to take 10 articles of clothing each semester. If students donate clothes, they can take more articles of clothing depending on how much they donate. In order to continue being environmentally conscious.
Griff’s Thrifts was started last year as an idea of the Sustainability Committee, as they wanted to have the same impact as Petey’s Pantry. Currently, some members of the committee help run the store.
Last year, the shop was a success as it was always full of clothes and is still receiving many donations to this day. Katy Schon, a member of the Sustainability Committee, was asked by The Griffin about what her passionate about when it comes to volunteering at the the thrift store. Schon responded that she loves “having a sustainable thrift store on campus,” and volunteering at the store seemed like a perfect fit.
