Is there charity shops in your country?

Guru

I got told by a friend that UK is one of the few counties that actually have charity shops. When I said about America having thrift shops they said they don't belive that's donation led. I just assumed that all countries have them? Is what my friend said true?

I would urge people to be very careful when giving to charity shops in the UK. I thought I was doing the right thing leaving in my old clothes only to find most of it on a shop employees personal buy and sell. And the biggest scandal is if the shop sold my items for say £200 only 5% £10 goes to the actual charity

  I am aware of that and I do either try to find financial gain for myself by selling them or hand them down to people I know with same aged children but it doesn't always work so I find donating better than recycling or just throwing them away

In the US, the largest group of thrift stores are owned by Goodwill and the Salvation Army. They rely on donations to provide their inventory.

Most thrift shops are donation led. Two giants in the thrift shop industry are GoodWill and The Salvation Army.. Both places are very much donation led, and their funds go to support the homeless and other charitable things.

  A lot are religious like Salvation Army or St. Vincent De Paul but many are not. We also have salvage goods stores which can have good deals on non perishable foods

The US has several donation based shops. Goodwill and the Salvation Army are two of the larger ones. Several others are run by religious organizations throughout the US.

  Well sorry for believing that all countries have a system to help the lessabled, I also like gumtree a lessor form of ebay and tbh a more preferable. If I believe everything is shit and there was no goodwill then that's a shitty place to live considering how much I've relied on the likes of charity shopping over the years

  Therefore if you're dumb enough to not realise, don't worry I'll explain it to you. People when talking about monetary terms tend to use whatever they use like £ or $ or € or ¥. I know it may be hard to understand but it doesn't mean they think you're from that country

  You grow older each and every day maturity is a choice rather than a requirement, especially good with someone who seems to like trying to push buttons 🧐

  It's shops that people donate old/unwanted items but in perfectly good working condition. The shops then sell those items on to create profit to give to their charitable need
