It might be time to get rid of some of the older and outgrown toys, clothes, and household things that may have received during the holidays. You can discover that you have a mountain of gently used toys that are no longer played with and clothing that no longer fits or that you no longer wear after going through your closets, drawers, and toy bins. Instead of throwing them away, think about giving them to a good cause. Thankfully, Halifax has many locations for you to donate your used goods.
Salvation Army Thrift Store
One of the biggest national charities in Canada, National Recycling Operations (NRO), which includes The Salvation Army Thrift Store, provides hope and assistance to more than 2.6 million people. They take pride in being one of the biggest recyclers of clothing in Canada. They provide discounts on used apparel and home goods through their thrift stores while also taking care of the environment and our shared neighborhood.
The impact of your purchases and donations at The Salvation Army Thrift Store is limitless. Every purchase and donation have a beneficial effect across Canada, from supporting local initiatives like food banks, school programs, and children’s camps to helping to fund these services and programs.
Value Village Thrift Store
The Value Village Thrift Store, which is situated in the Bayers Lake neighborhood, offers a wide range of items, including electronics, housewares, dinnerware, accessories, books, and family-friendly apparel.
Thrifting should always be fun but they also take secondhand seriously since they think that used goods have the ability to make a difference.
In addition to helping keep millions of kilograms of clothes and household products out of landfills annually, Value Village® is dedicated to providing reusable items a second shot at life. They compensate their nonprofit partner for your products each time you donate them to their store, which helps them finance vital community initiatives.
