The Salvation Army Thrift Store says the demand for affordable second-hand goods remains strong as Canadians continue to look for ways to stretch their dollars.
The Salvation Army Thrift Store said it is seeing continued interest from people seeking affordable clothing, household goods and everyday essentials. To help meet this demand, community donations are needed to keep store shelves stocked throughout the fall and winter months.
“As a Canadian non-profit thrift store, we want Ontarians to know that their donation does more than they think,” said Ted Troughton, Managing Director of The Salvation Army Thrift Store. ” Every donation helps give items a second life, reduces waste, and helps fund vital programs and services that provide hope, practical support and opportunities for people facing life’s challenges.
“As we prepare for the colder months ahead, winter jackets, sweaters, boots, and other seasonal items are especially needed. We also welcome donations of household essentials such as cookware, small appliances, and home décor. What may no longer serve a purpose in your home could become an affordable and valuable resource for someone else in your community.”
As The Salvation Army Thrift Store prepares for fall and winter, it said donations of new and gently used winter clothing, household essentials, and everyday items help keep shelves stocked with affordable goods while supporting Salvation Army programs and services in local communities.
Proceeds help fund Salvation Army programs and services that support individuals and families in communities throughout Canada, including food banks and meal programs, shelters, housing supports, addiction rehabilitation, children’s programs, and life-skills development initiatives.
Donations can be dropped off at any Donor Welcome Centre.
There are 98 stores across Canada.
