The Salvation Army Thrift Store is opening its newest location in Sidney, in the Greater Victoria Area.
The store, located at 2455 Beacon Avenue, will officially open its doors on Thursday March 19.
Located in the downtown core, the 4,300-square-foot store is the 7th Thrift Store location on Vancouver Island, expanding access to affordable, sustainable, and community-driven shopping options for residents across the region, said the organization.
“We’re thrilled to become part of the Sidney community,” said Ted Troughton, Managing Director of The Salvation Army Thrift Store. “This new location gives residents an easy way to shop sustainably while supporting life-changing Salvation Army programs and services that make a vital difference in the lives of individuals and families right here at home.”
Every purchase and donation made at The Salvation Army Thrift Store directly contributes to the organization’s mission of giving hope and transforming lives. Funds generated through the sale of donated items help support local programs such as food banks, shelters, rehabilitation for those struggling with addiction, and emergency relief efforts, said the organization.
“This new store represents so much more than a place to shop. It’s a celebration of community,” added Troughton. “Every visit to this store, whether to shop or donate, helps us extend hope, dignity, and support to our neighbours. We can’t wait to welcome the Sidney community into this new space.”
There are 97 Thrift Stores across Canada.
