Visit Our Thrift Shops | Bethesda Lutheran Communities

Since the first thrift shop opened in the 1960s, our thrift shops have been an important place for people of all abilities to connect with Bethesda and each other.

When you shop at, donate to or volunteer at a Bethesda Thrift Shop, you’ll join us in our mission to enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The income generated by our thrift shops helps the people we support lead fuller lives.

Our thrift shops also provide local, affordable shopping options to families in the communities we serve and employment opportunities for people of all abilities. Operating 16 thrift shops in seven states across the country, Bethesda’s thrift shops are a direct way for members of the community to support and connect with our mission.
