Thrift Store
Great styles for great prices…the second time around!
The Burnaby Hospice Society thrift store was established in 2006 as another means of raising funds to support hospice palliative care in Burnaby. Since we opened our doors, the Burnaby Hospice Society thrift store has quickly become well-known as the go to bargain shopping destination in the Burnaby area.
With a wide variety of high-end merchandise, offered in a friendly atmosphere, we focus on quality and providing a unique shopping experience for our customers at excellent prices.
Thank you to our customers and volunteers for your continued support.

Lend Hospice a Helping Hand
Volunteers generously donate their time and expertise to operate our thrift store. They perform a wide range of duties from receiving, sorting and pricing donations to setting up our retail displays to helping customers or being a cashier. We are constantly in search of volunteers and have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available.
Volunteering is fun, interesting, and you get to work with some of the nicest people. No matter what job our volunteers choose, they go home each day knowing they have made a difference in someone’s quality of life. If you have a special talent or just some time to spare, please give us a call. We would love to have you join our team!
