BACK TO TOP

When the doors of the Agrace Thrift Stores and Agrace Thrift Home Store reopened in June, passionate shoppers were back, following new safety guidelines. Please note some changes since the last time you may have shopped with us:

  • Reduced hours. We will be open four afternoons a week, Wednesday through Saturday, from noon to 5 pm.
  • Masks. Our staff and volunteers will be wearing masks, and we ask that you to do so as well.
  • Capacity. We are limiting the number of customers in the store at a time.
  • Shop smart. Stay six feet apart.
Things that will continue …

If you’ve enjoyed online shopping and curbside pickup while our doors were closed, don’t worry: We’re keeping some of those services, too!

About the Agrace Thrift Stores 
If you love bargain shopping for a great cause, Agrace Thrift has you covered!

There are now four Agrace resale stores in south central Wisconsin offering quality merchandise at thrifty prices. Whether you’re shopping for furniture, home décor, clothes, housewares, collectibles, books or gifts, you can find quality items at a fair price! Visit our three traditional thrift stores in Madison and Janesville, or our new Agrace Thrift Home Store, which focuses on furniture and décor.

Donate, Shop or Volunteer

When you donate, shop or volunteer at any of our stores, you are supporting Agrace, a nonprofit, community-based health care agency that serves patients across southern Wisconsin. Proceeds from these stores support Agrace’s mission of compassionate hospice and palliative care. The Agrace Thrift Home Store’s sales help fund Agrace’s grief support services for the community. Thank you!

News & Promotions

Our everyday prices are pretty thrifty already, but you can get even more from our stores with these fun promotions:

Furniture Tag Sale

Each time you visit Agrace Thrift Home Store, look for furniture with select colored tags to get the best deals. On our first business day of each month, we mark down select furniture by 20 to 40 percent! The prices stay that low for the rest of the month (if no one else snaps up the deal sooner). Visit us often for best selection, and follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see what’s new. You’re sure to find pieces that are perfect for your home—at a perfect price.

Thrifty Thursdays

Every Thursday, the three traditional thrift stores offer a different, special one-day sale. Thrifty Thursdays are publicized on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Like our Madison East, Madison West and  Janesville pages, and you, too, can get in on the Thursday deals!

Thrifty Shopper Club Card

For frequent shoppers, our punch cards offer extra savings. For every $10 you spend at the store, you get one punch on your card. After 12 punches, redeem a completed card for a $10 discount on your next visit. You can earn punches at the three traditional thrift stores only, but you can redeem a completed card at any store, including the Thrift Home Store. Thrifty Shopper Club Cards never expire.

Email Club

Sign up to get our emails, which include details about upcoming promotions, events and our quarterly newsletter, “The Agrace Savvy Shopper.” It has notices of weekly store specials and upcoming events, plus interesting articles about the people who make our stores tick!

Donations

You can drop off donations during our new store hours. We accept gently used, clean and resalable items only. Please put clothes and other soft goods in garbage bags, tied shut. Put your hard goods in boxes or totes with lids. Please check the lists below to be sure we accept the type of goods you’d like to donate.

Donations of merchandise to the Agrace thrift stores are tax-deductible. You can access your own donation receipt here. Our handy donation value guide can help you decide a fair value of your donation for tax purposes. You can feel great about donating because when the items are sold, proceeds help support Agrace’s nonprofit mission. Thank you!

Donation Pick-up Services

We come to you!

Parting with household items can be challenging—especially when it’s due to a life change or the death of a loved one. Thankfully, Agrace Thrift Store’s experts can make sorting, packing and donating easier and less stressful. Whether you’re downsizing, redecorating, closing an estate or just simplifying your life—we’re here to help.

Pack-up/Pick-up for estate or downsizing donors

We will pack donations we can accept and transport them to Agrace Thrift Stores—so you never need to lift a box. We also offer resources to help you “rehome” items we cannot accept. You’ll get a donation receipt for tax purposes. This service requires a minimum value of $500 (thrift prices) and a 15-day advance notice.

Contactless Furniture Pick-up

Due to COVID-19, our donation pick up service is only available following new safety guidelines. Please complete this request form to schedule a contactless appointment to pick up the furniture you’d like to donate. All donations must be placed on your driveway or in your garage prior to your appointment. This service requires a minimum value of $500 (thrift prices). You can access your own donation receipt here.

Services are offered in the Dane County area only.

Volunteer with Us

Volunteers are the heart of our stores and provide the majority of staff hours. Our main volunteer roles are described below. If you’d like to learn more, please visit any of the thrift stores and talk with the store manager, email us, or call Agrace Volunteer Services at (608) 327-7163.

Prospective volunteers complete a phone interview process, submit an application, and attend an orientation to learn more about Agrace and the important ways in which volunteers contribute to our mission. Call today for more information!

There are lots of ways to help!
  • Customer service: Greet customers, operate the cash register, answer the phone and assist customers.
  • Sort new donations: Assist donors with incoming donations; sort donations and prepare them for pricing.
  • Price donations: Sort, clean and price merchandise, such as housewares, kitchen-ware, glassware, home décor, clothing, bedding, quilts, tablecloths and towels.
  • Price collectibles and vintage items: Use the Internet to research and price the more valuable and collectible donations we receive.
  • Stager: Stock merchandise and create attractive displays on the sales floor. Assist with moving furniture and staging furniture in our Home Store.
  • Packer: Visit donor homes to pack donated items into boxes that will be delivered to one of our thrift stores for resale.

Volunteers commit to four-hour shifts:
Monday – Saturday: 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Sunday: noon – 4 p.m.
Or an evening shift  Monday – Thursday: 4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.

We ask for a once-a-week commitment for shifts on Monday through Friday. Or volunteer for a shift every other weekend. We accept and welcome time-off requests. A commitment of at least six months is appreciated. Many volunteers have been with us for six years or more, which shows how much they enjoy their roles.
