Thrift Store

LIFT-UP THRIFT STORE

LIFT-UP recognizes the need for affordable, quality clothes, shoes and household items for those in the Roaring Fork Valley. Our Thrift Stores in Glenwood Springs and Rifle provide the community with just that, while also providing a place for folks to donate their gently used items thus reducing the landfill impact.

Our Thrift Stores are filled with tremendous bargains for value-conscious shoppers and all profits go to supporting LIFT-UP’s hunger relief programs.

3-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN 2022-2025

The rate with which LIFT-UP responded to the closure of our pantries while shifting to mobile distribution was a massive undertaking.

Our distribution infrastructure has had to expand and grow as fast as the 600% increase in need we have experienced since 2020. Read More.
