it is good to your pocketbook

it is good for the mountains

and it is good for the planet





  and I agree!

You can find all kinds of things there. Winter clothing in all sizes from infant to adult. Toys, books, house wares, and some things that defy description... All in good condition, brand new, unused, or almost unused. Recycling at its best!

Here are a few examples of what you may find.

The Mountain Thrift Shoppe, located downstairs in the shopping mall at 27248 Hwy 189, (next to Jensen's) supports nine local non-profit organizations, including the San Bernardino Mountains Group Sierra Club. 

The profits are divided up according to the number of hours each group volunteers, and can only be spent within the Rim School District, according to the bylaws. Each group has a board representative. The Mountain Group's current representative is Heather Sargeant.

The Mountains Group ExCom decides how the money made at the Thrift Shoppe are spent, with the approval of the Sierra Club Foundation.

We present a scholarship each year to a Rim High Graduating Student who intends to go into an environmental field. Other funds go to organizations such as the SBNFA Children's Forest,  to local environmental defense and other nature preservation causes.

If you have three hours a week to commit to volunteering at the Thrift Shoppe, we would welcome you on board. The hours are Mondays, from 10 am - 1 pm or 1 pm - 4pm, or Wednesdays, 1pm - 4pm. 

Call Heather Sargeant at 336-2836 for more information.

We work hard, but have a lot of fun too, and we know our work benefits our mountain environment.
