Chilliwack MCC Thrift Shop

Through many different initiatives, MCC is helping people locally and in sixty countries worldwide. Local programs include helping victims of abuse, employment services for our native communities; help for HIV AIDS infected persons; helping people with disabilities, assisting refugees, and much more. Internationally MCC is funding and helping with clean water and food projects; peace development and disaster response. Thrift Stores provide a meaningful way to raise funds for the support of the work of MCC. By keeping all kinds of good reusable things out of landfills since the 1970's, MCC has also played a vital role in helping protect the environment. The first MCC Thrift Store in Canada was opened in Altona, Manitoba in 1972, and the first Thrift Store in BC was the Clearbrook store, which opened its doors in 1973. Currently MCC operates 60 stores Canada wide with 10 stores in British Columbia. In order to keep cost at a minimum, the MCC Thrift stores are operated mainly through the generous help of volunteers.
