I always find something here! Clothes, linens, kitchen ware, anything and everything! Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful! I donate and I buy there. I feel good that the $$ that it makes goes to the Open Door Food Pantry.
Thank you, Lisa!

The staff here are so kind and helpful. There are two separate building and the prices are very low. They have some beautiful furniture and both stores are laid out nicely. Tons of clothing, books, games, dishes, furniture, and more. Definitely need to come often as the inventory is always changing. Can't wait to come back.
Thank you! Come visit again, soon!

This thrift is a treasure for the community. Not only do they do amazing work providing food and nutritious meals to the community they also have a program where people in need can access the thrift for essentials. This store never disappoints and has weekly themes that are seasonal and thrift style oriented. The staff are amazing, some volunteers and some paid, all are lovely. Well worth the trip. Prices are good on everyday items such as clothes and housewares.

Stopped in yesterday, was our second time there. Each time there is a decent selection of stuff, and the person at the register was really nice and helpful. I found two vessels that from what little google searching I did, may or may not be vintage planters? To be determined lol either way they’re cool and the prices here are very reasonable. Also it’s for charity? Even better!

The prices are good, and the inventory eclectic. Picked up an annotated copy of King Lear, Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, Jean Genet's Querelle, and a new mug/bowl set for under $20. Fantastic little place
Thank you for shopping with us! Hope to see you again soon.

Always find something you didn't know you needed. It's like going on a treasure hunt. A fairly recent home furnishing annex offers another option for your browsing pleasure. Don't miss out - see you at "The Glance"!

I love Second Glance . They’re always changing the store a bit to keep it as accessible and appealing to the eye as possible . Not your typical thrift store . I can tell they put a lot of effort to “decorate” with their items rather than just throwing price tags on things on a fold out table or in boxes . The staff is always kind and prices are mostly reasonable. I noticed that they price “necessity” items extremely fairly ! Decorations and conversation piece furniture you can expect to pay a little more. It’s for a good cause . Beware it’s always pretty busy but it’s very spacious . I’ve never not gotten parking yet !!
