Special Notice on March 17, 2020:

As you will understand, all four Agrace thrift store locations are now closed—temporarily—due to COVID-19. We’ll miss you, but we are doing our part to keep everyone safe from illness.

Please know that we have sealed all the bargains safely inside each store. We ask that you save your donations for us until we re-open. What a relief that will be!

We’ll post updates here as they become available. Thank you for understanding.

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

Agrace thrift stores accept donations every day, during regular store hours. We accept gently used, clean and resalable items only. 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. Receipts are provided for tax purposes. 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, the proceeds help support Agrace’s nonprofit mission. Thank you!

Donation Pick-up Services

Furniture Pick-up – Temporarily Suspended

As you will understand, all four Agrace thrift store locations are now closed—as well as our donation pick-up service—to help prevent the spread of illness. This is temporary, due to COVID-19. We’ll post updates here as they become available. Thank you for understanding.

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.

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.
