Consign: A military ID (active, retired, National Guard, Reserves) card is required to consign with us. We pride ourselves on making this easy and lucrative for you! If your item sells you get 75% of the profit. Our consignment fee is 25% - the smallest in this area.

Donate: The Fort Myer Thrift Shop is a registered 501c3 exempt non-profit organization. Please ask for a tax deductible receipt when you drop off your donation during business hours. We are happy for your donations.

Volunteer: We always welcome volunteers.
