Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop

Unique, gently-used treasures, with all proceeds headed to the public school students of Ann Arbor

Celebrating 16 years of service!

The Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.  Our mission is to donate the proceeds from our resale shop to the Parent-Teacher Organizations of participating Ann Arbor Public Schools in support of enrichment and extra-curricular programs for students.

The PTO Thrift Shop relies solely on donations from the community.

Your participation and support--as a shopper, a donor, or a volunteer--is essential to our mission of providing a much-needed source of funds for student activities.

We appreciate your continued support.
