Women in Need operates a nonprofit thrift store in Chestertown and accepts donations of household goods, appliances, furniture, antiques, collectibles, glassware, jewelry, and other reusable merchandise. Furniture is accepted by pre-approval, and donations support WIN’s local charitable programs and community grants.

The store publishes important restrictions: it does not accept clothing or shoes, building materials, books, mattresses or bed frames, ripped or stained furniture, flammable liquids, used tires, computers, printers, scanners, analog or console televisions, and certain other items. Household-goods donations may be quantity-limited during specified hours, and donors should never leave items when the store is closed. Save a trip! Call Women in Need Thrift Store first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
