About Us

Who We Are

Mission Thrift Store is a volunteer-driven, non-denominational Christian organization that currently operates 50+ thrift stores across Canada, with more in development.

We provide used goods in a department store-like experience for value-conscious shoppers, who can find deals they can feel good about. Our stores convert donated goods into cash, and the net revenue is devoted to the joint ministry of BFM Foundation (Canada) and Bible League Canada to support leadership programs in over 43 countries — giving people access to the life-giving, life-changing, Word of God.

Our mission is to save you money, save the planet and tell the world about the saving work of Christ.

History

In the fall of 1988, two gentlemen from Chilliwack, BC joined the Bible League’s ministry tour to India. Throughout the tour they learned about the history, culture, religion and economic situation of the people there. They also visited new emerging Christian churches that were established as a result of the relationship between Bible League Canada and its Ministry partner. The trip left both men with a desire to help the people of India and on returning to Canada they became involved in discussions with the Director of Bible League Canada. They ultimately established a thrift store, donating the net revenue to

Bible League Canada so Bibles could be distributed to the people of India. Since then, Mission Thrift Stores have grown to 50+ locations across the country.

Although we have recently rebranded, our purpose remains the same:

Serving to place the Living Word of God worldwide in Joint Ministry with Bible League Canada.

Bible League Canada ultimately strives towards this goal through the careful placement of God’s Word in various parts of the world. Mission Thrift Store plans to continue this mission through opening more stores across Canada.
