Hub on Smith to Close Urban Thrift, Seeking Donations

While appearing on our talk show Public Pulse, HUB on Smith’s Director of Development Ryan Koltiska and current Urban Thrift Manager Erin Kranz, discussed the pending closure of the thrift store, which will be happening on June 28.

Until then there will be inventory clearance sales in the store, and continued sales at their warehouse location throughout the summer.

Kranz, who will oversee the clearances and the closure, will then switch roles and become the new Community Engagement Specialist for the HUB.

She said she has a special attachment to the thrift store, it’s employees and volunteers.

Kranz said Urban Thrift is assisting their employees and volunteers in finding positions elsewhere in the HUB organization.

Koltiska discussed Operation Independence, designed to assist senior citizens in remaining in their homes and out of institutions as long as possible.

Koltiska said funds are donated by generous people in the community through his, and soon, Kranz’s efforts.
