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. It costs The Salvation Army to remove trash that has been dumped outside our Thrift Stores. This diverts vital funds away from those who most need our support. Your understanding is appreciated.
