THE WATERFRONT MISSION DIFFERENCE

Waterfront Thrift Stores are a small chain of not-for-profit thrift stores supporting the rescue and recovery ministry of the Waterfront Rescue Mission. 

We make it easy to find bargains on every aisle and our stores are filled with current looks, authentic vintage treasures, housewares, collectibles, furniture, and unexpected finds at every turn. Unlike other large retailers, we’re a 501c3 not-for-profit organization and we pride in getting to know ourselves.

ABOUT THE THRIFT CYCLE

We are forever grateful for the support and generosity of our community. Thanks to you, our thrift stores and recycling center generate almost 67.6% of the Mission's annual operating income.

When we collect your donations, we sort items to prepare them to be transported to either our thrift stores or recycling center.

Your patronage of our stores help us to provide food, shelter, clothing, and life-skills for thousands of your homeless Gulf Coast neighbors seeking rescue and recovery services at the Mission.
