The TWIGS 6 Thrift Shop has been in operation for more than 60 years and was one of the first TWIGS group projects created to support LMH. The Thrift Shop originally opened in 1950 in a portion of the old Granville firehouse. When the Prospect Street firehouse was built, the old building was torn down, and the Thrift Shop moved to a larger location above the Granville village offices. After leaving the village offices, TWIGS 6 purchased a small house on Broadway Street in Granville and operated the Thrift Shop in that location for many years.
When the house sold in the fall of 1964, the proceeds were donated to the Hospital. The Thrift Shop then moved to the Granville Shopping Center in 1988, and then relocated to a new location on Main Street between NAPA Auto Parts and Granville Milling in 2001. In 2011, the TWIGS 6 Thrift Shop relocated to 1865 Tamarack Road in Newark.
TWIGS 8 began in 1950 with two card tables on which they began selling baby items, candy, jewelry, etc., later moving to the end of the ramps in the old hospital. Items sold were all homemade. After every shift, merchandise was taken to the basement storeroom. They had a gift cart, which they used to take around the Hospital to sell items. The TWIGS 8 Gift Shop was open two hours in the afternoon and evening.
Currently, each member works two shifts per month. The TWIGS 8 Gift Shop is open every day of the week, except on holidays.
TWIGS 24 began in 1994 with a group of Hospital employees. Their projects have included Mistletoe Tea, selling handcrafted items, and pumpkins at Halloween. Their current projects include vendor sales and vending machines. In January of 2004, TWIGS 12 joined TWIGS 24, since most of their members were older and only seven members remained. Today, members include current employees, retirees, and other members of the community.
