Thrift Store Thursday: Donate your furniture

Do you have a sofa, chair, love seat, dining table, or desk just collecting dust in your garage or basement? Did you know by donating your furniture you can support Union Gospel Mission?

Furniture is an item that the thrift store could use right now, and the revenue generated by sales at the store support the LifeChange addiction recovery community at Union Gospel Mission.

Also- your furniture can be picked up for FREE! Call the thrift store at 503-639-6488 to schedule a pick up!


Your furniture can help support the LifeChange recovery community! Visit the store at 11611 SW Pacific Hwy in Tigard.

Thrift Store Thursday: Vehicles!

In addition to the great clothes, furnishings, appliances and other items you can purchase at the thrift store, occasionally donated vehicles are for sale. All proceeds from the vehicle sales support the LifeChange addiction recovery community. So, not only do you get a vehicle you are helping a really great group of people.

We have TWO great vehicles currently for sale:

First, is a 1998 Plymouth Voyager Van, clean inside and out, CD Player and 136,036 miles. Asking price is $1,500

The other car is a 1993 Toyota Corolla, with four new tires, looks great inside and out, current tags until 2011 and only 90,962 miles. Asking price is $2,000.

If you are interested in either vehicle, give Dani, our thrift store manager a call at 503-639-6488 or visit the store at 11611 SW Pacific Hwy in Tigard (across from the Tigard Cinemas)
