after the storm

Hurricane Irene left a wake of destruction in its path when it hit Vermont, including flooding & damaging our shop on Flat Street in downtown Brattleboro. Many thanks to the intrepid team of volunteers who showed up to help us clean up & salvage as much as we could just after the flood waters receded. Unfortunately, we were forced to throw much away, & must rebuild much of the structure including walls & shelving.

The Experienced Goods Thrift Shops are the main fundraisers for Brattleboro Area Hospice, providing 60% of our funding, which supports our work with people who are dying and those who are grieving the death of someone they love. We have set up a paypal account for monetary donations to help us rebuild our Flat Street shop. Follow this link to make a donation. Thank you for your generosity!
