Thrift Shop?

shop. You do need a picture ID however. All are welcome. Directions
Question: Help! I want to shop at the Fort Myer Thrift Shop but everyone tells me how time
consuming it is to get through the gate because I don't have a military ID!!!! Is it really that difficult to
get through the gate?
Answer: Getting through the gate is not as difficult as people will tell you and it usually takes just a
few minutes. Every adult in your vehicle must have a valid photo ID and it does not have to be a
military ID card. An example of an ID would be your drivers license, passport, and any type of
identification with your picture on it. Directions to the thrift shop

Answer: We accept cash and checks (which must be approved at our thrift shop office) and credit
cards Visa and Mastercard.

Answer: A military ID (active, retired, National Guard, Reserves) card is required to consign with us If
your item sells we take 25 percent and you may find it difficult to find another consignment store with
rates as low as ours. Anyone can shop and anyone can give us a donation.
