Catholic Charities Thrift Shop

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our capacity is 8 customers in the shop at a time. Customers are required to wear a mask and we will provide hand sanitizer and/or gloves. We ask customers who may be "at risk", to make a shopping appointment.

Days and hours of operation are:
Monday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Thursday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. 
We are also accepting shopping appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Please call 703-548-4881 for an appointment. 

Due to COVID-19 the clothing voucher program is suspended and will reopen in October on Tuesdays, by appointment only. Eligible clients may receive a voucher once every four months.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors we are curtailing donations by appointment because the shop is full! In mid-August we resumed accepting donations by telephone appointment 703-548-4881. Thank you for supporting our Emergency Assistance Program and we look forward to serving you again.

Preventative measures to safeguard our clients, volunteers and staff are in place at all Catholic Charities programs. Schedules and procedures have changed at some locations. Check here regularly for program updates.
