Family Thrift Store

Why Donate to Catholic Charities Family Thrift Store?

When you donate to Catholic Charities Family Thrift Store, you're supporting a ministry of Catholic Charities Odessa that directly impacts our community. Your contributions help neighbors in need who rely on the Thrift Store as an affordable shopping destination. The proceeds from your donated items fund vital programs and services provided by Catholic Charities, bringing hope and assistance to those facing hardship.

During the colder months, your donations of coats, blankets, and warm clothing make a significant difference, especially for the homeless population. By sharing your unused items, you’re extending compassion to those who need it most.

Take this opportunity to declutter: sort through your shirts, jeans, and shoes; clear out kitchen items you no longer use; and make space by donating furniture or stored treasures. Get your family involved and encourage friends, co-workers, and groups to join in!

Remember, nothing donated goes to waste. Items we cannot sell are sent to third-world countries through our partnership with Charity Shoes and Clothing, ensuring every donation makes an impact globally and locally.
