About the Organization & Community Impact

Second Time Around Thrift Shop – Laurel Auxiliary is connected with a hospital or medical-center auxiliary, a volunteer fundraising structure that supports patient care and community health initiatives. Auxiliary thrift shops convert donated household goods into resale revenue that can be directed toward equipment, patient-comfort programs, educational projects, facility needs or other hospital priorities. They also create a local volunteer opportunity and provide affordable secondhand merchandise to the surrounding community. For estate donors, the benefit is straightforward: usable goods receive a second life and their value is transformed into support for healthcare rather than being lost through disposal. Because hospital auxiliaries often have limited storage and volunteer capacity, acceptance rules can be narrower than at large commercial thrift chains, making advance confirmation especially useful for furniture, electronics or large quantities.

Save a trip! Call Second Time Around Thrift Shop – Laurel Auxiliary first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
