New In-Store Auction!
New Receiving Hours
Unfortunately, due to an excess in drop-offs in the last few months, Churches Thrift Shop needs to limit receiving hours to:
Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 3:30pm
Saturday: 9:30am to 3:00pm
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we need to be able to take good care of the precious treasures that are generously donated.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during these busy times!
No Medications Please!
Please note that we do not accept used medication, including opened bottles of Tylenol or allergy medication. You can take them to any pharmacy to dispose of them. If you do bring them here, we can’t sell them and will have to take them to a pharmacy ourselves. Thank you!
Reminder About Donations
Just a reminder: While we are very grateful for the donations we receive and the generosity of our community, we respectfully request that only clean, working, sellable items be donated. I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Unfortunately, that saying doesn’t ring true here at Churches Thrift Shop. If it’s trash, we can’t sell it. We have no choice but to dispose of it, which adds to our garbage fees, leaving us with less to give back to the community. For more information about donating, please see our Donations page. Thank you!
Customer Limit Update
We are now allowing up to 22 customers in the store at a time, as long as social distancing is maintained! Thank you to all our customers who have been so patient during this unusual time!
Thank you!
We at Churches Thrift Shop just want to say a heartfelt thank you for your patience during this unusual time. We are so happy to see you all and we appreciate your efforts to honour our 20 – 30 minute shopping time limit to ensure others waiting to enter don’t have to stand in line too long. We know the changes implemented to comply with COVID-19 safety protocols have made shopping a very different experience than we’re all used to, but you’ve been wonderful in stepping up to these new challenges and we are so grateful!
Jersey Day at Churches Thrift Shop!
Please, No Donations When We Are Closed!
We really want everyone to know how VERY much we appreciate donations; we are very grateful for our city’s generosity. Unfortunately, when items get left outside our gates when we are closed, they get rifled through and often it rains or snows and everything gets ruined. 😞 So we would really appreciate if drop offs were only made when we are open so that we can take good care of your donations right away! Thank you.
