Support the Thrift Shop

The Hospital Thrift Shop is located in downtown Central City. The store, which is run by nearly 100 Auxiliary volunteers, continues to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of area shoppers. Donations of gently used clothing, shoes, knick-knacks and household items are given by the community, shown love by our Auxiliary staff and put on display to be resold.

The Thrift Shop is a key contributor to significant projects for Merrick Medical Center, and Auxiliary volunteers are always ready to step up when asked. If you would like more information about our Thrift Shop or would like to become a Thrift Shop volunteer, please contact Auxiliary president, Jean Burbach, at 308-946-2309.

Shop with us each Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1601 16th St. Holiday hours may vary.
