Thrift Shoppe

History of Giving Back

The Peace River Center Thrift Shoppe evolved from a need to provide for domestic violence survivors. Survivors not only benefit from funds generated by shoppers, but they can also shop with dignity at the Thrift Shoppe through our voucher program. The Thrift Shoppe has expanded its voucher program to also include qualified, low-income mental health clients as well, and the funds raised also benefit programs like Peace River Center Children’s Psychiatric Services. Every year the Thrift Shoppe gives away approximately $50,000 in goods to survivors and clients.

Kitchen supplies

While we cannot arrange for donation pick-up, if you have specific items such as dressers, living room furniture, etc. we can check with our programs to see if clients have a need. Oftentimes when our mental health clients or domestic violence survivors transition to their own housing these items are greatly appreciated. Please contact us for our clients’ current needs.

Supporting PRC’s Programs

In addition to thrift items, our store also offers items featuring client artwork such as the swan t-shirts and tumblers. Sold at our major fundraiser, Full Moon Howl, proceeds from these items help us raise meaningful dollars to benefit the more than 20,000 clients Peace River Center serves every year.

Additionally, the Thrift Shoppe serves as a drop-off point for donations to Peace River Center’s many programs. Annually, we hold a Christmas in July donation drive and conduct other drives as needed. For example, we’ve collected socks and blankets for our Crisis Stabilization Unit clients and gifts for families served by our Children’s Mental Health Programs.
