Christ Church Episcopal

Our Thrift shop stocks a variety of lightly used clothes, books, toys, shoes and household items all very reasonably priced.  All funds go to support Christ Church and local community outreach - (see below.)

The Christ Church Thrift Shop relies soley on donations brought to us from the local community.  We do not collect in clothing bins placed outside the community and resale those donated clothes for profit. As a non-profit organization, the Christ Church Thrift Shop not only provides a useful service for the community, but uses income generated to further support the community we live in. Please bring any clothes you wish to donate to us at the Thrift Shop during our opening hours

USUALLY we are located in the basement of the parish hall, 7423 South Broadway, Red Hook, NY, but during the pandemic, we will be temporarily housed upstairs in the hall, where masks are mandatory, distincing enforced and a one way sytem operates.

Feel free to pay us a visit during the following opening hours:

Temporary Covid Hours

Saturday: 10am - 5:00pm

Volunteers are always needed to help run our thrift Shop.  If you have an hour or two to spare please send us an email using the link on the home page.  It's voluntary, but the satisfaction is immense - and if you need the hours towards honors society or community service then we will be happy to sign you off!

Students are particularly welcome to work in our store - please apply in person at the Thrift Shop (below the parish hall next to the Church)

Look out for our sales advertised outside!
