Defiance Thrift Store

This IS the place to shop in Roaring Fork Valley. You can find amazing deals on both used and new items. I stop in once or twice a week, as it is a busy store, and I do not want to miss a good find! The ladies that run the store are extremely helpful and friendly. The biggest bonus is that it is a nonprofit and they are supporting local causes with the sales.

I travel through Glenwood Springs regularly and would never miss an opportunity to stop by Defiance Thrift Store because I know they are the only nonprofit thrift in town and it’s an easy way to support good work. But the other reason is personal. I run a nonprofit organization and understand how dedication to quality and community make all the difference. It’s never easy but it’s always great!
Over the years, Defiance has evolved into the amazing place it is today. The current manager has turned a typical resale store into a first class shopping experience. She and her great staff have transformed the store start to finish — from the fresh, new look and excellent level of customer service to the quality and variety of items — from $ 1.00 for a brand name shirt to $ 500 for a $ 2,000 designer bag.
Their first commitment is to be a key part of the community of social outreach, partnering with local legends, Lift-​Up and Family Visitor Program who provide essential humanitarian services to all who need them. Defiance Thrift is there for the last minute notice of a family in need, someone who lost everything in a fire, out of work adults who need employment interview clothing, children who need clothes for school to start off right and feel accepted — a typical day with a typically successful outcome.
Glenwood Springs is located between Aspen and Vail. A large number of those residents support the essential work of Defiance because they know that it is a great place to make a big difference. They donate quality furniture, new and near-​new clothing, accessories and household items that can be sold at a fraction of their value. That makes a huge impact on the multiple financial donations Defiance makes every year to their social services partners.
If this sounds like I work for the place, I’d be happy too! But my work takes me all around the western part of this country and I see the same urgent need in small towns and big cities so, in a sense, I do ‘work’ for any organization whose commitment is to a better way of life for the people in their world. I stop by every time — I always have and I always will.
Keep up the good work Team Defiance!
