THRIFTING
Every purchase. Every donation. Every volunteer.
Together, they serve a greater purpose
WITH
PURPOSE
WHO
WE ARE
ReFind Goods. ReFind Community. Refined by Faith.
ReFind Thrift Shop is a volunteer-run, non-profit store where pre-loved items are given new purpose. The proceeds help support local Christian education and other charities that serve our community.
Primary proceeds support Jarvis Community Christian School and other local Christian education and charities.
THE THRIFTY THREE
Three ways to ReFind Purpose. Through every purchase, donation, and volunteer hour, you help support Christian education and strengthen our community.
Discover pre-loved finds you won’t want to leave behind—clothes, furniture, and everyday treasures.
Got clothes, furniture, or something too good to toss? Bring it to us—we’ll help it find a new home.
Volunteer with us! Whether it’s a few hours or more, find joy by helping out, having fun, and joining the community.
DONATE
Your donations will make a difference!
As we launch ReFind Thrift Shop, we are currently collecting donations to help bring the store to life. We gladly accept gently used goods that can be given a second life in our shop.
During this startup phase, we are also gratefully accepting financial support to help cover initial costs such as shelving, equipment, signage, and store setup.
Every donation—whether items or financial support—helps us open our doors and begin supporting Christian education and our community.
ReFind Thrift Shop is a registered non-profit organization, but not a registered charity. Because of this, we are unable to issue charitable tax receipts for items or financial donations.
DONATE GOODS
Got something too good to toss? Donate it to ReFind Thrift Shop. From clothes and furniture to everyday household goods, your gently used items will help fill our shelves with treasures waiting to be ReFound.
DONATION DAYS
Help us build our inventory! Donate gently used clothes, furniture, and household goods during our upcoming donation days. If you have large furniture items, please give us a heads up so that we can ensure we can coordinate it!
