A Little History
The Thrift Shop of Aspen was started in 1949, to help the old “citizens hospital” which was in an Victorian home at the base of Red Mountain.
The attic was remodeled to provide housing for 2 or 3 nurses. When the hospital hired several more nurses, the Thrift Shop helped pay their salaries. Next, the Thrift Shop helped the Red Brick School which now houses the Red Brick Center for the Arts. Initially we were instrumental in starting the first kindergarten and the first hot lunch program for the school. For many years we supported only the hospital and the school but eventually we began to support the Aspen Ski Club and the rest is history.
