Tired of that beautiful quilt? Ready to move on from that leather jacket? Downsizing and want to find a home for that exquisite vase?
The perfect place to unload it is Hole in the Wall, the thrift and consignment retail shop just off the Guilford Green where shoppers find special treasures for home and body. There are two ways to utilize this decades-old popular shop:
CONSIGN. You can realize some money by offering quality clothing at the right season for sale. Summer consignment begins May 1st. Make an appointment to show your items by calling the store at (203)453-2088. At this time, only summer wear is accepted for consignment, in lighter fabrics and colors, explains Patty Sullivan, head manager of the store. (All the appointments for spring consignment have been filled.)
DONATE. Get that warm feeling inside when you give to a wonderful cause that is the Guilford ABC program. Hole in the Wall accepts donations year-round of clothing, jewelry, and housewares that are in near new condition and clean, “something that anyone would be happy to pluck off the shelves to have a ‘new to them’ item in superior condition for a great value,” says Patty.
IMPORTANT: do not leave donations outside at the doors. Drop them off inside during business hours, seven days a week. Unfortunately, some donations have been left outside after hours and have been ruined by bad weather. So, bring in your treasures Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday, Noon to 3 p.m. The volunteers will be overjoyed to receive your donations.
The Hole in the Wall store is located at 35 Boston Street (in the complex across from Guilford Savings Bank). Find out more about the Guilford A Better Chance program at guilfordabc.org.
