The San Francisco Tavern Guild Foundation founded the Community Thrift Store, a non-profit, in 1982, in order to help local charitable organizations.
We have over 200 non-profit organizations that we refer to as partners. All partners must be a project of/or registered with the IRS as a 501-C3.
The donors for these 200 plus charities bring sellable items to us to sell for their specific charity. Other donors make a choice from our list of 200 charities at our receiving dock.
Community Thrift Store is staffed by a combination of employees, volunteers and community service workers.
If you are interested in volunteering, please telephone (415) 861-4910.
