The Salvation Army Thrift Store recently opened its newest location at 19700 Langley Bypass, Unit 301. This marks the organization’s second store in Langley and its 14th in the Vancouver mainland, expanding its reach and positive impact on the local community.

Situated across from Willowbrook Shopping Centre, the 10,900-square-foot store is conveniently located in a high-traffic area of the city, offering a great selection of gently used clothing, household items, electronics, books, art, and more, for everyone, it said.

“We’re excited to further expand our presence in Langley,” said Ted Troughton, Managing Director of The Salvation Army Thrift Store. “Every purchase and donation help fund local Salvation Army programs and services for those in need such as foodbanks, shelters, rehabilitation for those struggling with addictions and emergency relief efforts.”

The Salvation Army Thrift Store provides an accessible shopping experience for individuals looking to stretch their budgets while also making environmentally conscious choices and supporting their local community, it said.

“Beyond the funds generated through the sales of donated items, The Salvation Army Thrift Store raises money in stores through its GoodWorks@Work campaigns, which brought in more than $1 million in 2024. These initiatives support vital causes such as Send a Kid to Camp, modern slavery and human trafficking prevention, international development, and Christmas kettles,” it added.

The Salvation Army Thrift Store (National Recycling Operations) is a non-profit organization and the only national division of The Salvation Army. Through its 95 Thrift Stores across Canada, the organization offers savings on gently used clothing, textiles, and household items while generating funds to support local programs, services, and emergency relief efforts. As one of the country’s largest textile collectors and a leader in textile diversion in the charitable sector, the store diverted over 80 million pounds of items from landfills last year.
