Why pay full price? Stretch your dollars and help people
At The Well Thrift Store, we know you want to be a socially conscious thrifter. For that to happen, you need a local place to shop for great deals on good stuff.

You should be welcomed into a clean, organized store where you know your money is making a difference.
We get it. Your time and money are valuable. That’s why for over eight years, we’ve created a positive shopping experience that supports your community through local Well Resource Centers.

At The Well Thrift Store, our welcoming and organized environment makes it simple to shop and you can be confident your purchase impacts your community.

eBay
We do our very best to steward your donated items, which is why some of our knowledgeable volunteers get together and handpick items to sell on our very own eBay site.
We have had several encounters where individuals want to be sure we won’t sell their valuable items for less than they are worth. The truth is, we value your valuables. This is how our eBay site was born.
If you are looking to move forward the mission of our poverty ministry by donating some of your valuable, vintage items, consider us.
What fun pieces to receive a facelift!

Do you offer exchanges or refunds?
We do our best to offer quality products. To avoid disappointment, we strongly encourage you to test any electrical items you want to purchase. When items are donated, we ask donors if electrical items work and use that information to help us value items.
We do not offer exchanges or refunds. In the event your purchase didn’t last as long as you’d hoped, we hope you will be consoled by the knowledge that your dollars spent will still be put to work helping the people served by The Well.
Do you charge sales tax?
No, we are exempt as a non-profit business.
Can you provide a receipt for my donations?
Yes! Simply request a receipt when you drop off your donated items.
Unfortunately, IRS regulations prevent us from assigning a dollar value to your items.
