Our Grace Thrift Shop is located at 301 E. Market St., Sandusky
(419) 626-5453
Our Thrift Shop will re-open on July 1st.
This is how people will enter the shop once we open for business on July 1st:
1. A maximum of eight (8) shoppers in the store at any time.
2. Masks must be worn.
3. Hand sanitizer will be used upon entry.
4. Each person entering will write their name and contact information (phone, address, or
email) on the daily registration sheet. This will allow us to do contact-tracing should there be
a diagnosed case of covid-19 in our midst.
We are sure that you are as eager as we are to be back in business. With everyone’s cooperation
in abiding by these processes, we hope that our reopening will be successful and all who enter the
shop will be kept safe and healthy.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Peace and health be yours.

Do you know your name brands, vintage treasures? Are you a great bargain hunter?
Do you know a good thing when you see it?
We need more markers (pricers) at the Thrift Shop! We are continually receiving new items - both consigned and donated. Until they get priced, nothing can happen: no showing,
no selling, no enjoying, and no funds to support local ministries.If you’re interested in giving this a try, please contact the Church Office and we’ll get you connected (office@gracesandusky.org or 419-625-6919)
The Grace Thrift Shop was founded in 1948. Since its inception the store has been a consignment shop (donations are also accepted).
It has always been and continues to be staffed entirely by volunteers.
Over the years, the Thrift Shop has been in several downtown Sandusky locations.
We've been at 301 East Market Street since May, 2013.

Our merchandise includes items such as: clothing for men, women and children (including toddlers and infants); shoes, jewelry, linens, small kitchen and other household items.
Everything we sell is clean and workable. All net proceeds go to support local charities.
We also provide free clothing and other items to people in need who come to us with letters from churches and organizations.
In 2006 the Thrift Shop was given The Lavender Award for Excellence by the Volunteer Center for exemplifying volunteerism at its best.
(The Lavender Award for Excellence is given annually to a program, organization or agency in Erie County, Ohio that has shown exemplary use of volunteers to meet social needs of the community).
Steering Committee Members: Donna Andres, Sally Burger, Ann Cassidy, Kathleen Floyd, Judy Porterfield, Judy Smith, Mary Toney, and Jan Smith Wood.
Please consider volunteering a few hours to this most worthwhile outreach program.
Bring a friend; we provide training and it's fun.

- The minimum item price on which we pay a commission is $2.00. Items of lesser value will be considered donations. The Thrift Shop reserves the right to accept or refuse merchandise. We reserve the right to price all merchandise accepted for consignment, and to lower the price or dispose of items with defects unnoticed when received.

Any commission balances with less than $15 remaining on the books for more than one year will be donated to charity.
- To maintain our good reputation, and to get the best prices for your consignment, we ask that you bring us only merchandise that is clean, seasonable, and in good condition.
