The Shelter Shop

A RESALE STORE ON A MISSION

When you shop at The Shelter Shop, you're not just finding amazing deals on unique treasures – you're directly contributing to vital programs and services for survivors of domestic violence. From safe housing to counseling and legal advocacy, your support provides a lifeline to those rebuilding their lives.

Thrifting is a fantastic way to find sustainable and affordable clothing, furniture, and household items. It's good for your wallet, good for the planet, and at The Shelter Shop, it's also great for survivors in our community.

Every item you donate to our store also makes a difference. Your gently used goods are given a new life, and their sale generates essential funds that empower survivors on their journey to healing and independence.

Join us in making a tangible difference. Shop, donate, and help us create a world free from violence.
