How Your Donations Make a Difference
At Mission Thrift Store Kitchener, every donation — whether it’s your time, gently-used items, or monetary support — has a meaningful impact on our local community and around the world. As a volunteer-driven, nonprofit Christian organization, we turn donated goods into affordable products for families in Kitchener while supporting Bible-based programs in over 40 countries through our partnership with Bible League Canada with 100% of proceeds going directly to charity.
Our programs focus on creating lasting change by addressing both immediate and long-term needs. Locally, your donations help provide affordable clothing, household items, toys, and furniture to families who need them most. By keeping gently-used goods out of landfills, you also help reduce waste and promote sustainable practices in our community.
Globally, proceeds from every sale support literacy, education, and community development initiatives. Children, families, and communities in over 40 countries gain access to resources and programs that empower them to thrive. Every dollar you give contributes directly to these efforts, helping us extend our reach and amplify the impact of our mission.
Our volunteers are also a vital part of this mission. From sorting donations and helping customers in-store to assisting with furniture pickups and social media outreach, each person who gives their time helps turn donations into real, measurable change. Volunteering is a chance to learn new skills, build friendships, and directly see the difference your efforts make.
By shopping, donating, or volunteering with Mission Thrift Store Kitchener, you’re not just supporting a thrift store — you’re helping fund programs that transform lives locally and globally. Every contribution matters, and together we can continue to provide hope, resources, and opportunity to those who need it most.
