Welcome to the Grand Forks AFB Thrift Shop!

Our Purpose: The Thrift Shop exists to provide base personnel the opportunity to donate or sell their unneeded personal property and to purchase needed items at reasonable prices.

The Thrift Shop is an operation of the Grand Forks Officers' Spouses Club and the net proceeds from our sales are given back to the community in the form of charitable contributions. Please check our bulletin board at the Thrift Shop for our most recent charitable contributions.                                  


Volunteers

We can always use an enthusiastic volunteer!  If you are a member of OSC, ESC, or the base community and you would like to help us, please drop by during our operating hours. 

Volunteers perform nearly all duties within the Thrift Shop.  The accept donations, prepare inventory tickets, ring up merchandise, maintain sales sheets, place items into inventory, withdraw items from inventory, assist customers, and many other tasks.

In return for donating their time and effort, volunteers enjoy many advantages associated with the Thrift Shop:

  • Reimbursement for babysitting costs (restrictions apply!)
  • First choice on new donated items
  • Free soft drink and snack while working
  • The opportunity to spend quality time with other great volunteers and many fine customers

Consignments

**** PLEASE NOTE CONSIGNMENTS WILL NO LONGER  BE ACCEPTED*****

Due to the constraints placde on our shop by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the limited number of volunteers during the downsizing of Grand Forks AFB , the Thrift Shop Advisory Committee and OSC Board have voted to suspend the consignment process beginning immediately.  The decision will be reviewed in January and again in May.  Donations will still be accepted at this time and we hope to continue to serve the community by providing a pleasant shopping experience while raising funds for a variety of highly worthwhile charities.
