St. Elsie's Thrift Shop

Hours

Thursday 1-5 p.m.
Saturday 10 a.m. -2 p.m.
Located at the back of the
​Church of the Messiah
Our store is well organized and items are beautifully displayed.  New items are added to the store on a weekly basis.  All clothes are organized and sized for your convenience and we offer two dressing rooms.  Our staff is friendly and helpful and love to see repeat customers.  

We opened our doors in April of 2010 in the unused basement of our church as a fundraiser to assist with our outreach projects.  We've expanded several times over the years and have added a bathroom.  St. Elsie's assists Homeless Solutions with clothing or household needs, and donates end of season clothing to  local organizations that ship clothes to other countries in need.
