History

The Thrift Store Habitat for Humanity Thrift Shop in Española, New Mexico, has a surprisingly recent and impactful story.

Established in 2005, the shop began its journey operating from a modest garage on 15th Street.

Recognizing the need for a more accessible and prominent location, the organization relocated to its current spot across a parking lot at the Meri Mac shopping plaza between Trinity and Central – the same location that previously housed a group home.

This move in 2005 significantly boosted traffic to the shop, though it also led to a slight shift in accepted items, prioritizing higher-quality goods.

The shop’s unique position allows it to support Habitat for Humanity’s mission directly, accepting donations of moving boxes and surplus materials, which are then distributed to other worthy non-profit organizations through locations like the Española ReStore in Los Alamos.

The shop benefits from partnerships with organizations like Casa Mesita, which sells books, and Freecycle (Los Alamos Chapter), and receives donations from the Salvation Army and other local non-profits.

Donors can even utilize Freecycle to dispose of bulkier items, demonstrating a commitment to responsible disposal and community support.
