Mission Statement
The Sausalito Salvage Shop provides a location for individuals to re-cycle their new/previously used wares, as we raise (and donate) funds for Marin County charities.
Description
The Sausalito Salvage Shop began in 1940 as "Bundles for Britan." Its origins were based on very early World War II war efforts. It gradually evolved to a place were individuals could donate their used wares, as we then sold them, and raised money for local charities. It is an all volunteer, all donations organization. The receipts are donated to a variety of charities and locations: The Hospice of Marin; Re-entry scholarships at College of Marin; Teaching scholarships at Dominican College; and generally recognized charities such as the Alzheimer Association, Ammerican Cancer Society and the American Lung Association.
