​The Thrift Shop currently opens three times a week in the Pop-up Souk, helping the KAUST community to reuse donated items and supporting volunteer-led community programs in KAUST and Thuwal. The Shop is run entirely by volunteers.

To make it easier for KAUST residents to donate items, there are new donation drop-off locations in the Gardens, Palms, and on the Island. Please leave clean, unbroken donations (in marked bags and boxes) at any of the drop-off points below. Please don't ring the doorbell. A huge thank you to the volunteers who are helping to collate donations.

• Gardens - G-1134, G-3039, G-3408
  
• Island - I-5528, I-527M
• Palms - P-7122
  

If you like to donate furniture, please contact the volunteers by emailing secondchance.kaust@gmail.com.
