What You'll Find
Our main store features a thoughtfully organized selection of clothing, household goods, media, electronics, jewelry, and collectibles. Just next door in our furniture store, you’ll discover gently used furniture, refrigerators, lamps, mirrors, rugs, and even medical equipment—everything curated with quality and affordability in mind.
How We're Different
What sets us apart from other thrift stores? We take pride in offering a clean, well-organized shopping experience and the best prices in town. But most of all, it’s our people. We know many of our customers by name—and even what they’re looking for. Our shop isn’t just a place to find great deals; it’s a place where community is built.
ABOUT THE OLu THRIFT SHOP
The original Lutheran High School Thrift Shop opened its doors in 1969 at the corner of Chapman Avenue and Prospect. For nearly 20 years, it served the community before eventually closing. A few years later, recognizing the ongoing need to support student financial aid, a new vision emerged. In 1994, the Lutheran High School Thrift Shop reopened at 686 N. Tustin Street—now known as our furniture store.
As community support grew, so did our shop. We soon expanded into the neighboring building, which remains our main location today. This expansion allowed us to offer a wider variety of items while continuing our mission to benefit Lutheran High School students.
Ways to Give
Donate Goods
We accept appliances, clothing, household goods, electronic devices, fabric and craft items, bedding and linens, books, CDs, and DVDs. All items must be in clean, saleable condition. We no longer offer furniture pickups, but you may schedule a furniture drop-off by sending an email request with photos of the furniture you would like to donate to thriftshop@lhsoc.org. We will reply within 24 hours with a date for drop-off if we can accept your items.
- Donations are accepted on Monday through Saturday from 10 am – 2 pm (or until full) at the back of the furniture shop.
- We do not accept mattresses, food, washers, dryers, built-in appliances, pianos, car seats, or strollers.
