Family Thrift Store
The Salvation Army Family Thrift Store provides a way for to give hope to those in need by looking in your closets, your homes, and your hearts and donating today, help us make a difference in someone else’s life tomorrow! Funds generated go to support The Salvation Army – Cascade Community Ministry in Abbotsford and Mission.
What to Donate
Quality Clean & Gently Used Clothing and Household Goods – Items you would give to a friend or want to receive!
(undamaged items, no rips, no tears, no stains or chipped dishes/glassware please) Please be sure the goods you donate are quality, something you would want to receive or give to a friend.
