Austin American Statesman

"Possibly the best thrift store/social movement of the century... holding the torch for an Austin that is not so much "weird" as "freakish," in a good and not particularly mass-marketable way."

Take a peek...

Announcement

The possibilities of what you might find at Saturday's 25 cent sale are limitless! Come dig around, Saturday July 24, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., and get some treasures - just a quarter each.

Take a peek inside a few random 25 cent bins and you'll see things like: a snorkel set, glow-in-the-dark stars, wine glasses, sequined pants, cute sneakers, earth shoes, horsey-on-a-stick, silky shirts with vibrant patterns, a care bears bike helmet, learning materials, bizarre books, and more...

WE BUILD COMMUNITY WITH SOLIDARITY NOT CHARITY

We started this project in 2006 to raise money and material support for small, local grassroots community groups and projects that traditionally have difficulty with funding. Our main beneficiaries are Inside Books Project which sends 18,000 free books a year to Texas prisoners and Yellow Bike, who run a community bike shop at our space. If you are a group that meets these criteria and would like financial, material or promotional support from us or to use the space for events, contact us. You can also read more about the concept of Mutual Aid here.

As a collective, we also believe that the struggles for social justice are not separate, but are in fact all linked together in a broader struggle for liberation - an injustice against one is an injustice against all. By networking and supporting diverse groups and people, regardless of race, class, income, nationality, gender, age or sexuality, we all become stronger.

Our space is available for community use outside of business hours. Learn more about using our space. We also have window space for groups we support to promote their events and free blank t-shirts (and other clothing) for screen printing.
