MARBLEHEAD, MASSACHUSETTS
A community thrift shop for our schools.
Every item sold at the Hat funds enrichment programs for students across the Marblehead Public Schools. Shop it, donate to it, volunteer for it.
THREE WAYS TO HELP
Shop. Donate. Volunteer.

Donate
All donations will be reviewed at the time of drop-off. For more details, please refer to our Donate page for a list of DO TAKE and DON’T TAKE ITEMS

Thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the Hat!
OUR process, rules and day for donating have changed
Please read and adhere to the following for donating items to the Magic Hat Thrift Shop. This will make your donation process quicker.
DONATION Process
1. All items must be in sellable condition
2. Each donor will bring their items to the table where Magic Hat staff will assess the quality and
condition of donations
3. If items are NOT deemed sellable, they will be rejected and given back to the donor.
4. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the donor to dispose of these items.
5. Please ONLY BRING DONATIONS on designated days.
6. DO NOT leave items outside or inside the front door
Small pieces of furniture may be donated and 1 hour of volunteer time will be donated to your school for every $10.00 of the purchase price. ie: a table selling for $50.00 earns 5 volunteer hours for your school.
Can’t get to the shop to volunteer. Earn hours for your school by doing laundry. One load = 1 hour
Volunteer
Can you help out at the Magic Hat?
It’s a great way to raise money for the PTO at your children’s schools. The more you volunteer, the more funds you can raise for them.
We always need volunteers and an hour a week makes a big difference. Plus it’s fun!!
If you are interested in volunteering…
You should contact your PTO/PCO representative and they can tell you how to sign up and give you information on what you can expect when volunteering for a shift at the shop.
If you are between the ages of 9-16 you will need to be chaperoned by an adult while working at the shop. Children under the age of 9 years are not allowed to volunteer with adults in the shop.
Community volunteers are welcome and your hours can be applied towards community hours or the school(s) of your choice.
You can volunteer any Tuesday-Saturday – and still get credit for your school
