Thrift Shop

Keeping Our Mission Thriving

The Ark Thrift Shop is located in Blue Hill, across from the Fairgrounds, at the corner of the Mountain and Ellsworth Roads.  The Thrift Shop is a vital facet of The Ark Shelter’s organization.  Not only does it fund both the shelter’s low-cost spay/neuter program ‘Stitch-in-Time’ and all in-house spay/neuter procedures, it also keeps our mission alive and well in Hancock County and The Blue Hill Peninsula.

The shop relies on donations and volunteer staffing and carries a large selection of continually changing inventory.  Our inventory includes household goods/small kitchen appliances, pottery, lamps, hardware/tools, linens, crafts/fabric, holiday items, small furniture, children’s toys/books, sports/garden items, games/puzzles, jewelry, candles, knick-knacks and art-work, as well as pet-related items (collars, leashes, toys, bedding, crates, litter and food).

Good quality, new and gently used donations are gratefully accepted during business hours.  Due to limited space, legal or liability risks, hazardous waste, recycling and disposal fees we are unable to accept most electronics, books (other than children’s), mattresses, ammunition, large, dirty or damaged items, etc.  For a complete list, call or stop in.  We thank you for your understanding regarding these limitations.
