Urban Thrift to Close
On Saturday, April 6, Urban Thrift will be closing its doors for the last time. Known as "Kensington's best-kept secret", the store has a well-earned reputation as a good source to get a great deal, a reliable place to donate treasures, and a fixture in the community that has made a lasting impact. Thank you to all those who have supported Urban Thrift. You have been vital and active in the mission to connect people of all ages and abilities with their communities to build inclusive and fulfilling lives.
