South Lake Animal League Thrift Shop

The Animal League’s Downtown Clermont Thrift Shop

One of The Animal League’s most important sources of operating income is its Thrift Shop. All items for sale in the thrift store are donated by the generous people throughout the community. Thanks, in large part, to the efforts of an energetic and talented group of volunteers, The Animal League’s downtown Clermont thrift store has grown from its original 250 square foot location to its current 4,000 square foot “a fun place to shop” store.

You will find clothing for every member of the family, household and baby items, books, toys, games, electronics, furniture, and much more. The shop receives many compliments on its appearance, neatness, cleanliness, and organization. Prices are kept low to facilitate turnover of merchandise. New donations arrive daily and are put out on the shelves and racks for sale.

The key to the success of the shop has been its volunteers. A core group of 25 to 30 volunteers work at the shop. Some work a few hours a week, others every day. Each contributes as much as he or she can to performing the necessary tasks of sorting, cleaning, pricing, and displaying the items for sale. The dedicated individuals that form the volunteer staff have translated their love and concern for animals into the day to day hard work of operating the shop and it’s Thrift Shop Facebook page.

We love our Thrift Shop volunteers and employees! If you enjoy our Thrift Shop, please be sure to tell them what a great job they are doing!
