Granny’s Attic is a Vashon Island based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that accepts donations of items that we then resell in our second-hand vintage thrift store. The money generated from those sales is donated to other non-profits in the Vashon community who focus their efforts on healthcare, wellbeing, and food security for island residents.

Originally funded as the Health Center Volunteers, Granny’s Attic has been in continuous operation since 1974.

Please refer to our donations page for more information.

Various organizations such as the Vashon Senior Center, Vashon Youth & Family Services, the Vashon Food Bank, and the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness to name a few. Please refer to our statistics and other informational pages to learn more about how we give back to the community.

Granny’s Attic is operated by a team of approximately ten full- and part-time employees and 120+ volunteers, all of whom are committed to the mission of going good for our community. For more information or to apply to volunteer, refer to the volunteer page.

We have an eBay presence where we sell higher value items that have not sold in the store. Our goal is to sell as many items and generate as much revenue as possible to support our non-profit partners. To visit our eBay store, click “Shop” at the top of the page.

The all volunteer Board of Directors oversees the operations of Granny’s Attic with the help of an Executive Director, a full and part time staff of approx. ten employees and a volunteer team of 120+ people.

In 2022 Granny’s donated over $240,000. We plan to do the same or more in the coming years!
