Thrift Story Austin

Thrift Story is a pop-up community event. Think of it like a yard sale but with a catch: all items have their backstories attached to them on notecards.

All items are donated by members of the Austin-area community. If you want to donate an item to Thrift Story: Austin, please email us at thriftstoryatx@gmail.com to schedule a pick-up. Donations are limited to clothing and small items. All donations must be in good condition. Stories must be hand-written on index cards.

We ask that all stories be true, as remembered by the storyteller, but encourage all to get creative (for example, you could tell the story from the perspective of the item you're donating)! We do ask that you don't include your name on the card, but you can include your age and/or your current city.

The donations will then be sold at the event and the proceeds will go to Caritas of Austin.
