The W Thrift Shop is designed to provide gently used garments to any enrolled student free of charge. Our goal is to help relieve the stress of affording clothing, and allow scholars to focus more energy creating positive impressions and interactions during class or at an interview.

Who can use the Thrift Shop and what do I need to bring with me?

We are available to any enrolled student, and you will need to show your OneCard for access.

What kind of clothing does the Thrift Shop have?

• Casual clothing items  Casual attire for class, like jeans, khakis, sweaters, long and short sleeve shirts
• Professional clothing  Business attire for interviews, like suits, dress pants, button down shirts, dresses and blouses

How much does it cost to use the Thrift Shop?

Nothing! The W Thrift Shop clothing is absolutely free for enrolled students, we do ask if you are in the position to, take one and bring one. If you are not in the position to exchange an item, we ask if you would be willing to donate an hour of volunteer time.

When do I have to return the clothing?

Never! After you receive clothing from The W Thrift Shop, it is yours to keep. We do hope that students will pay-it-forward and become future Thrift Shop donors, but there is no requirement to return any items.

How many times can I visit the Thrift Shop? How many items can I take each time?

Students are able to visit freely, but again, we are always looking for volunteers.

How can I donate?

The W Thrift Shop operates with the support of generous donors and donations, which have a direct impact on students reaching their educational and professional goals. Donations can be dropped off at The W Food Pantry & Thrift Shop. Please make sure they are freshly laundered or dry cleaned.
