The Sister Carmen Community Center Thrift Store offers an affordable selection of clothing, household goods and furniture. Proceeds generated from sales directly support SCCC’s programs to help families in need.
Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to offer residential pick-ups of furniture or other items. Items are accepted at our building at 701 Baseline Rd, Lafayette and at the discretion of staff members, so they can ensure we have enough space and that items are in good, clean, quality condition. See below for more details on items we generally accept and do not accept.
