Salvation Army Thrift Store

Too high priced for used merchandise by Pamela P. at InsiderPages

The store is somewhat cramped. The place isn't very clean. But my biggest complaint is that the store is over priced. Most of what they have you can get new for close to the same prices. For items donated to them they are raking in a huge profit. The location is easy to reach although pulling back out onto Joppa road can be dangerous.

PROS: Easy to locate

CONS: Too high priced, dirty

Stocked exclusively with donated goods, thrift store contributes all earnings to Bible-based rehab programs throughout the world.

In Short
The Salvation Army is an evangelical Christian organization that devotes billions of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours each year to disaster relief, social services and other charitable causes worldwide. With proceeds going directly to adult rehabilitation centers, the Army's many thrift stores play an important role in furthering the organization's mission. Patrons of the stores pick through a diverse selection of moderately worn clothing, as well as second-hand furniture, electronics, books and toys at bargain prices.
