CAFC Thrift Shop

NEW Thrift Shop Hours

Our Thrift Shop is open for shopping three days a week: Thursdays 10–7, Fridays 10–4, and Saturdays 9–4.

Thrift Shop Donation Policy

Go to the Thrift Shop Donations Page. There is a list of acceptable donations as well as items we cannot accept. As always, we request that donations are not left on days when we are closed.

The Chester-Andover Family Center Thrift Shop provides more than affordable clothing and household goods to the public. We are here to provide a friendly, clean and satisfying shopping experience. Our volunteers will greet you with a smile and our coffee pot is always plugged in.

We depend on Thrift Shop Sales to support our Food Shelf and Financial Assistance Programs and our Thrift Shop retail team to maintain a positive shopping environment.

Our loyal customers trust us to provide adult and children’s clothing that is clean, seasonal, pressed, and while gently used, always in perfect condition. They also know that new items, still sporting tags, are also on our racks.

• Do you need linens, small appliances, dishes, glassware or pots and pans?

• Do you need shoes, jewelry, scarves and other accessories to complete an outfit?

• Do you need a gown, fancy dress or men’s wear for a special occasion?

• Do you need games, books or toys to keep your little ones happy?

WE HAVE IT ALL!

The Thrift Shop is staffed by volunteers who process donations of merchandise for sale in our shop. All clothing donations are sorted, cleaned, sized and steamed. Linens are cleaned and sized. Household goods are cleaned and checked that they are in working condition.

Proceeds from Thrift Shop sales purchase food for our Food Shelf, provide Financial Assistance to Chester and Andover residents struggling to make ends meet and help us fulfill our mission.
