Treasures Abound in the SJW Thrift Shop:

Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s and the St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital Thrift Shop… what do they have in common??

Designer dresses and shoes, leather handbags and crystal giftware are some of the bargains frequently found in the SJWH Thrift Shop. Sponsored by the Auxiliary, the Thrift Shop offers new and gently used clothing for men, women and children as well as sporting goods, books, games/toys, ceramics and housewares.  New items are received daily so stock changes on a regular basis.

“Very often we receive new items with the original price tags, ” commented Ellen MacTaggart, one of the coordinators of the Thrift Shop. Recent finds include several designer dresses and evening gowns by Jones of New York, Liz Claiborne and Dana Buchman, a designer golf bag and stunning leather sandals. “SJWH employees enjoy bargain hunting at the Thrift Shop,” added Rosalind Rodano, co-coordinator. “It’s like shopping at the Mall with no parking problems. And the best part is that all proceeds benefit St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital.”  In the last year, proceeds from the Thrift Shop exceeded $10,000.

Staffed by pleasant, helpful volunteers, the Thrift Shop is located on the lower level opposite the Pharmacy. Summer hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10AM to 4 PM.

Donations of clean clothes, household items, games and books are welcome. For further information, please call Ellen MacTaggart or Rosalind Rodano at 973-956-3500.
