Our Thrift Shop is remains closed. However, we have pop up sales at the Woman's Club periodically.  Check our facebook pages for updates or the weekly blasts. Friends and family welcome. Check back for updates on reopening!
We are open for donations at the Woman's Club on Tuesday mornings from 10 am - 11:15 am.
The Thrift Shop in White Plains has been in continuous operation since November 11, 1918! It is the oldest thrift shop in New York State, possibly in the country. The idea of a Thrift Exchange as it was called grew out of the national desire to reuse and recycle items in order to aid the war effort. The original Thrift Exchange was held in the Tod Market on the corner of Court Street and Martine Avenue. The building is still in existence. In 1923 the Thrift Shop moved to a barn behind the old Preudhomme residence on Church Street. It remained at that location for 50 years until finally moving to its current location in the White Plains Presbyterian Church on North Broadway. The Shop is a 501c3 entity, jointly owned by the Woman's Club of White Plains, the Scarsdale Woman's Club and the Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale with proceeds donated to local charities. The Shop is manned by volunteers from all three organizations who rotate weekly. Currently the Shop is open every Tuesday and the first, third and fourth Saturdays of the month and sells women's, men's and children's clothing as well as household items. 

HAVE ITEMS TO DONATE?
The Shop accepts men's, women's and children's clothing and shoes as well as household items. We do NOT accept furniture, books, DVDs or stuffed toys. Donations are accepted at the Woman's Club of White Plains, 305 Ridgeway, White Plains, NY 10605. Donations can be brought to the Marking Room on Tuesday mornings between 9:30 and 11:30 am (drive down the driveway on the left side of the auditorium and you will see the door) or can be left in the ballroom foyer. Please let George, our maintenance man, know you are leaving items. Please mark bags left in the foyer for "Marking". Tax receipts are available. THANK YOU!
A complementary group to the Thrift Shop is our Marking Committee. Each week, the numerous donations to the Thrift Shop are examined and priced for sale. Those that are not able to be sold are donated to other local organizations such as El Centro, Lifting Up Westchester and Shepherd's Flock. The Marking Committee meets every Tuesday from 9:30 - 11 am. ​All members are welcome to help out in the Marking Committee and/or at the Thrift Shop.
