About Gracie’s

Gracie’s Thrift Store opened in July 2009, as a fundraising project of Grace United Church. It’s first sale was in a small basement church meeting room. We raised $80 on that first day. It grew to be open every Saturday, with the help of 12 volunteers, pre COVID.

A short while later, as the church’s financial position improved, it was decided that the proceeds of the sales would be donated to local schools, charites and global emergencies. The shop ran entirely by volunteers who kept overheads low.

The support of our customers has been the driving force behind Gracie’s success. Over the years we have been able to make a difference in our community and globally. In 2019 alone we were able to raise over $15,000, which we have donated to various worthwhile causes. Our customers have become friends and the shop a gathering place for friends and neighbours.

Today, in our second full year of opening since COVID ended, income for 2024 increased 18% from the previous year. Our total for 2024 came in at $27,456, with expenses amounting to $317 for pant hangers, store display items and bags.  The remaining income was donated to over 25 local and global charities. 

Please come by for a visit, or browse our on-line shop!  We appreciate the continued support we all benefit from and enjoy !
