The Fort Myer Thrift Shop
"IT’S WHAT WE DO” – SUPPORTING MILITARY & FAMILIES"
To our loyal friends and customers,
Following the guidance of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall leadership and public health officials, and with the health and safety of all of upmost concern, the Fort Myer Thrift Shop has temporarily closed due to the corona virus. We all must follow the cautions that we frequently hear through the news.
We appreciate your loyalty and friendship and look forward to your shopping with us again, once we are cleared to re-open. Until then, we ask that you hold your donations – which we very much appreciate – until we can re-open. We are not able to process them at this time and do not want them to sit outside.
For those eligible to apply for scholarships and community grants, please continue to prepare and submit them. Scholarship applications must be post-marked no later than 31 March. Applications for community grants are due no later than 23 April.
Consignors, please do not worry about your items currently consigned with us, nor about receipt of checks. We will honor both accordingly.
Please be safe until this passes. We look forward to seeing all again once we re-open.
Thanks, again, for your patronage and support,
Fort Myer Thrift Shop Management,
Volunteers, and Staff
