PALOS VERDES RESALE THRIFT SHOP

Thrift Shop's Mission:

Palos Verdes Resale is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation of volunteers with the purpose of collecting and selling donated articles in a thrift shop in order to generate funds for distribution to local organizations that are engaged in a variety of charitable missions for the benefit and improvement of society.

Who We Are:

Palos Verdes Resale, a nonprofit organization of volunteers committed to community service and the support of local charities, officially opened August 23, 2005. Volunteers vote on the distribution of funds to approved charities based on the hours they have worked at the shop.

The thrift shop has a large inventory of pre-owned items donated by members of the community. We have an ever changing inventory of housewares, electronics, furniture, antiques, collectibles, art, fabric, clothing (some boutique & vintage), jewelry, accessories, shoes, books and more.  All merchandise is sold at reasonable prices and all proceeds go to benefit local nonprofits.
