LISTEN COMMUNITY SERVICES

How We Help Our Upper Valley Community

When you donate goods or shop with us, the proceeds stay local and benefit our community. We employ many people from Vermont and Hampshire, and 25% of the stores’ revenue support LISTEN’s programs that provide food, heating, and housing assistance to our neighbors in need.

We help you to save money! Our three thrift stores provide affordable, second-hand items at discounted prices. We also offer many “sale days” each week, and organize several seasonal and holiday sales.

Donating and buying from a thrift shop is an excellent way to reuse and recycle items such as clothes, electronics, and furniture. Together we are decreasing the waste going to landfills and the number of new items that need to be created. Thoughtful consumption and less pollution is a win-win for all of us!

Volunteers are needed at our thrift stores.

Volunteering is not only a great way to give back to the Upper Valley but a way to get to learn more about LISTEN and the impact we have within the community.

The gift of your time supports our community. Volunteers for LISTEN sort clothes and housewares, and more. Everyone is welcome! Come alone or with your family, colleagues, or other small group.
