About Thanalidam:
A Community for Change
Thanalidam is a vibrant initiative by the UCian community—a collective of students, staff, alumni, retired members, and supportive well-wishers, united by a common purpose: to nurture compassion, sustainability, and community care. Our mission is simple but powerful: to create a meaningful impact in our local community through three pillars—our thrift shop, eco-shop, and free mid-day meal program. By blending environmental responsibility with social care, we aim to foster lasting change.
Our Mission:
Small Steps, Big Impact
At Thanalidam, we believe that even small actions can create waves of positive change. Through acts of kindness, sustainability, and shared responsibility, we encourage everyone to join us—whether by donating items, volunteering, or simply spreading the word. Every contribution helps us support and uplift our community, and together, we can make a difference.
Your Sustainable Choice: The Thanalidam Thrift Shop
The Thanalidam Thrift Shop is more than a store—it’s a community space for sustainable living. We offer affordable, gently used and new items like clothing, food, stationery, artwork, handmade soaps, and eco-friendly beauty products.
By shopping here, you support the principles of reuse, recycle, reduce, helping build a circular economy that minimizes waste. From vintage finds to daily essentials, Thanalidam brings you unique, budget-friendly treasures that make every purchase meaningful.
A Community Effort: Where Everyone Can Give Back
Thanalidam thrives on participation from the college community. Students and faculty are encouraged to donate items they no longer need, helping sustain the flow of unique finds and reinforcing the values of sharing and giving back. Shopping here not only helps you find valuable items at wallet-friendly prices but also embodies a culture of community and compassion that unites us all.
