About Our Thrift Shop
The Thrift Shop sells new and gently used items at low prices everyone can afford. These items include: Clothing for the whole family, household goods, shoes, collectables, purses, books, movies, jewelry and sometimes designer clothing in the boutique. They also carry a large selection of gently used furniture at very affordable prices. Furniture purchased at the Shop can be delivered for a small fee!
A variety of sales are held throughout the month. 50%-off, End-of-the-Month sales are held the last Saturday of the month.
The Thrift Shop also collects clothing donations for those in need. These items are provided through our Clothing Room at the Center at no cost to homeless guests. Items include gently-used and clean, coats and jackets, pants, shorts, shoes, socks, hats and beanies, gloves and scarves.
Please package your donations in boxes, bags or disposable containers.
Furniture Sales
Items range from basic household furniture at very affordable prices, to estate liquidation items that include antiques and collectibles. You never know what types of treasures you’ll find, as the inventory is always changing. For daily specials and new arrivals, please visit us on FaceBook at “Bro.Benno’s Thrift Shop”.
Donations: If you would like to donate gently used, sale-able furniture or home accessories, you can drop them off at the Thrift Shop Tuesday or Thursday 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. and on Saturday from 10:00 AM to noon. (Please do not leave donations when the Thrift Shop is closed.)
If you live in the North County Coastal area and need to have your donated furniture picked up, please call (760) 967-7507 and leave a message. A driver will call you back to arrange a pick up.
Note: We are unable to accommodate large pick-ups from garage, rummage, or yard sales. We do not accept donations of used mattresses of any size due to Health Department regulations. In addition, Brother Benno’s does not have the resources to repair damaged or worn furniture, so only those items that are immediately saleable can be accepted. We thank you for your understanding.
