This ‘n That Thrift Shop is a community thrift shop located in the Nations neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee. Established in 1971 and run entirely by volunteers, the shop sells donated, gently used goods, with all proceeds supporting St. Luke’s Community House. The website describes the shop’s purpose as “providing a source of affordable goods for local residents, a steady income for the Child Development Program at St. Luke’s Community House, and an opportunity for volunteer work.”
Products
The shop carries a constantly changing inventory of gently used, community-donated items, including:
- Clothing and shoes
- Jewelry (ranging from $2 to $500)
- Books and linens
- Home furnishings and art
- China, silver, and crystal
Because every item is donated and inventory turns over continually, the merchandise selection is always evolving, and the website notes that shoppers encounter constantly changing stock from visit to visit. The shop accepts community donations during posted donation hours and describes welcoming “good, usable donations, whether from a closet clean-out, downsizing, or a move.” A Specials section on the website highlights current promotions; at the time of profiling, the shop advertised “ALL CHILDREN’S CLOTHING AND SHOES 50% OFF” (June 9 to 20).
About
This ‘n That was established in 1971 and operates with an all-volunteer corps. According to the website, volunteers typically commit to three-hour shifts monthly, and the organization maintains over a hundred active volunteers. The shop’s three core purposes are to provide affordable goods for local residents, generate steady income for the Child Development Program at St. Luke’s Community House, and offer an opportunity for volunteer work.
All profits directly support St. Luke’s Community House programs, which serve working families, seniors, and children in nearby Nashville neighborhoods including the Nations, Sylvan Park, and the Charlotte Avenue area. Every item sold has been donated by the community, and the shop accepts “good, usable donations, whether from a closet clean-out, downsizing, or a move.”
