About the Foundation

The Ann Arbor Kiwanis Club Foundation, Inc.

The Thrift Sale mission is to generate and effectively manage our resources to provide for the needs of people, primarily children and families in Washtenaw County, and in doing so promote diversity, collaboration, and financial and environmental stewardship in harmony with the mission of the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor. The Sale is open to the public Fridays and Saturdays; but staff and volunteers work Monday through Thursday to prepare items for sale. In 2023 the Foundation distributed more than $1,000,000 to individuals and nonprofit organizations throughout Washtenaw County.
