THRIFT STORE
The Salvation Army regularly holds bazaars (thrift stores). These bazaars sell donated clothing, miscellaneous goods, electrical appliances, furniture, books, and other items that are no longer needed by the public. The profits are used to support those in need.
Consider donating items that you no longer need but are too good to throw away. Your donations can make a difference!
Origin of Thrift Store
The bazaar (thrift store) began in 1969 in Wada, Suginami-ku, as a place to support the recovery and independence of people recovering from alcohol addiction, with the theme of "regeneration of people and things." Currently, there is also a branch office in Kinshicho, Sumida-ku. Organizing and selling donations from generous individuals provides meaningful employment for those seeking recovery and independence. The profits from sales support the rehabilitation of individuals recovering from alcohol addiction.
Since its founding at the end of the 19th century, the Salvation Army has addressed alcohol addiction as a serious social problem and has proactively implemented solutions. People overcoming alcohol addiction strive not only to abstain from drinking but also to reintegrate into society as mature and responsible individuals. At the bazaar center, the day begins with a morning service, fostering physical and mental recovery and growth while working alongside dedicated staff.
Flow of Donated Goods
Items donated by many people are collected in the warehouse at the Bazaar (Men’s Social Service Center). We handle a variety of items collected from different households, such as clothing, tableware, small items, and books. In this warehouse, staff wear masks and goggles while sorting items.
Items organized by category are displayed in the bazaar sales area. We carefully arrange the items to make them easily accessible to customers. A wide variety of products, neatly arranged in a large venue, are purchased by those who need them and find them useful in their daily lives.
