The Salvation Army Thrift Stores

Monetary Donation

Change. It's in the Bag

The Salvation Army of the Midlands Thrift Stores helps the community in a couple of very important ways:

  • When you donate goods, you're helping to provide items that are sold to the community or given to those with the greatest need.
  • When you shop for items at our stores, you're directly funding the life-restoring programs that exist in your community.

The Salvation Army of the Midlands Thrift Stores supports our many outreach programs by turning reusable goods into much-needed funding. Proceeds generated by Thrift Store sales are used to give tangible assistance and offer hope to the Midlands residents. And you can find great deals for yourself and your family by shopping there as well! New and gently used furniture, houseware, clothing, books, jewelry, and more are available at a fraction of retail costs.

DONATIONS

When you bring a bag with clothes and gently used items, The Salvation Army sorts and processes the items to add to our store inventory. We add new items every week so there's always something fresh.

The items that you donate are added to our shelves and clothing racks. Our stores are frequented by so many different people – some looking for their own unique fashion sense, some looking for a deal, some because they have nowhere else to go.

Whether they're purchased by a college student adding to their wardrobe or by a family struggling to make ends meet, these sales directly fund local, life-giving programs provided by The Salvation Army.
