May 12, 2025 – Today marks the Hospital Thrift Shop’s 96th annual opening day. India Street was full of eager shoppers this morning as they waited in a line that stretched all the way down to Centre Street. “It’s great to be back and see so many familiar faces! The Shop is overflowing with great items and we can’t wait to start our 96th year!,” said Mary Casey, Executive Director of the Thrift Shop.

The Hospital Thrift Shop sells used household items, furniture and clothes donated by the community at bargain prices to raise money for Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Last year, the shop donated $600,000 back to the hospital. For hours and more information, please visit their website, hospitalthriftshop.org.
