The thrift shop is Christ Church’s primary mission work, serving as a multi-dimensional resource to those in need. Each year the Thrift Shop makes donations to a number of local non-profits that provide important support and assistance in the Mount Washington Valley community. 2022 donations were made to fourteen local organizations, totaling $9,000:  Angels & Elves, Children Unlimited, Children of Incarcerated Parents (CHIPS), Conway Area Humane Society, End 68 Hours of Hunger, Gibson Center – Meals on Wheels, Jen’s Friends, MWV Habitat for Humanity, RSVP of Carroll County, Starting Point, The Revolving Closet, Vaughan Community Services – Food Pantry, Visiting Nurse, Home Care & Hospice, Way Station and White Mountain Community Health Center.  Checks were presented at the Thrift shop earlier in December. 

Donations:

We appreciate it if you can leave donations with us when we are open. You can also leave donations outside the back door of the church – but if you do, make sure that weather won’t damage what you donate and try to leave items close to when we open to avoid items being stolen. We ask that donations be clean and usable.

Please Note: We are not currently accepting TVs/electronics, large furniture, or books. Thank you for understanding!
