Promote Sustainability

 
 

1. Donations:

Community donations come from Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. We welcome gently used furniture, clothes, jewelry, housewares, books, linens and art.

2. Sorting & Regifting:

Incoming donations are sorted and culled with attention to condition, quality, and, sellability. Items we cannot sell are donated to other organizations, minimizing waste and avoiding the landfill.

 

3. Upcycled Sales:

Recycle, reuse—we find new homes for “old stuff.”

4. Proceeds Benefit our Community:

Annual grants from TIN support local non-profits dedicated to servicing seniors in need.

“Knowing that the profits are returned to the community ($270,000 in 2023) and that the motto of reuse, reduce, and recycle is carefully followed makes Twice is Nice a special place. Whether you shop, donate, or volunteer (or all 3), you are supporting a great cause. Come join us!”
