BIG BLUE THRIFT STORE
The Big Blue Thrift Store is a student-established, student-led, non-profit thrift store on campus, whose mission is to minimize waste, provide affordable student shopping, and give students hands-on managerial and business experience. We’re asking for your help to improve the store’s security, safety, and appearance so we can increase hours and improve the retail experience for students and community members alike.
More about the Big Blue Thrift Store:
- Big Blue is an invaluable opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in their majors in the Big Blue practicum; support students' entrepreneurial endeavors through the store's profits; and give back to the community by offering some merchandise at no cost on Free Fridays.
- A safer and more secure Big Blue space lets us extend our hours of operation, giving our practicum students more hands-on experience and increases the net revenue to assist students with their entrepreneurial projects.
- The repairs and renovations will make the store more welcoming for students, community members and prospective students interested in our entrepreneurial, business, and leadership programs.
Every advocate who inspires a gift will be entered into a raffle for a free stay during Homecoming, thanks to the generosity of Fairfield by Marriott, Marietta
