The Corvallis Community Thrift Shop’s history began with the OSU Folk Club, which was established as a social and service club on October 29, 1908 by OSU faculty women and faculty wives.
The Thrift Shop was established by the Folk Club in 1949 to give profits from sales to community organizations. Learn more about our history, what we’re doing for our community and how you can help!
