Purpose:      The Friend to Friend Thrift Shop was established to provide an opportunity for the citizens of the East Granby area to purchase durable clothing at reduced prices, and to generate income to be used to help stock the Friend to Friend Food Pantry shelves.  It is staffed completely by volunteers, and proceeds are used to purchase food for the Food Pantry.

The shop has clothing for the entire family—infants, toddlers, children, women (including maternity), and men.  A limited amount of linens, housewares, jewelry, toys and puzzles are also available.

Location:      The shop is located in the historic South School building at 32 Spoonville Road, East Granby, Connecticut.  Take Route 187 to Spoonville Road, or Route 187 to Seymour Road, then right on Spoonville Road.  

Telephone:  (860) 651-1659   Please call when shop is open.

To Donate:   The shop welcomes donations of in-season clothing in resale-able condition.  Drop off clothing at the shop during business hours.

To Volunteer:          If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at the shop, please call the Social Services Director at 653-4371.  Volunteers are needed to greet customers, write up sales, sort clothing, price clothing, arrange displays, rake leaves, trim shrubs or make minor repairs to the building interior.  Tell us what you would like to do, and when you are available.
