The Thrift Store provides an outlet for residents to donate gently used goods, reducing waste, which helps sustain our natural resources and environment. It also provides a crucial source of affordable merchandise for low-income populations of Gunnison Valley, as well as for several other agencies and vulnerable populations that Six Points supports with donated merchandise.
