Why TRU Thrift Shop?
When you shop or donate at TRU Thrift Shop, you’re doing more than running an errand. Every item helps fund hospice care, palliative care, grief support, memory care, and aging-in-place programs for families across Boulder County and nearby communities. It’s a simple way to turn everyday generosity into meaningful care for people who need it most.

Volunteers make the thrift shop a place of connection and shared purpose. Whether you enjoy helping customers, organizing donations, or supporting special events, there’s a role for you. Many volunteers tell us the shop becomes more than a place to serve — it becomes a community.
Visit TRU Thrift Online
We are excited to launch our own TRU Thrift Square Site, starting with artwork sales. You can still find us on eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Poshmark, and Craigslist… but now you can shop our Square Site for unique pieces of art. The best news… we don’t have to pay large fees on this site, so more of your purchase will support the important work of TRU Community Care!
Square also makes it easy to buy TRU Thrift Shop gift cards!
