Full Circle Trade & Thrift was envisioned and created as a “closed-loop” model of giving, sharing and receiving, where the community is invited and engaged to serve each other. Our giving/receiving model allows for the larger community to help sustain programs that promote the arts, education, recreation, and social services in Flagstaff. By donating, shopping and or volunteering at Full Circle you’ll become an integral part of the Full Circle concept.

After decades of thrift store shopping, Bill and Barbara Packard longed for an opportunity to serve the Flagstaff community they loved with a unique and locally managed thrift store operation. This would be a place where the majority of the proceeds would be returned to Flagstaff and to the non-profits that truly make a difference in our community.From that dream, and with the help of friends and family, Full Circle Trade and Thrift was born. The Full Circle board and the Packard’s goal is to provide a quality shopping experience while creating a hub of hope in Flagstaff.

Together, members of the local community and the Full Circle Board will select a nonprofit to support and promote for an entire month. The featured nonprofit is encouraged to use their own marketing, fundraising and creative skills to support Full Circle’s efforts and raise awareness of each organization’s missions. By encouraging people to donate, shop and volunteer during that month, Full Circle is able to generate income that directly benefits the nonprofit.Through this collaborative partnering and promoting, we are able to multiply our efforts exponentially resulting in increased funding to our featured nonprofits. To complete the circle, we offer additional in-store promotions that highlight local businesses willing to help non-profits year round. Contact us to become a local business sponsor, or to suggest a nonprofit for us to fund.
