So many unique, handmade and vintage things you'd have a challenge finding at the other thrift stores in Ottawa. Big fan of the craft section!
I am deeply disappointed by this second-hand store, which claims to operate on donations and be run by volunteers with a humanitarian mission. My mother, who doesn’t speak English, was tricked into buying chipped and broken dishes for $400. This is an outrageous price for items in such poor condition, and they completely took advantage of her language barrier. When I tried to address this with the manager, I was met with rudeness and zero cooperation.
It’s appalling that a store supposedly dedicated to helping people would exploit immigrants and those who don’t understand English, conducting what I can only describe as a fraudulent transaction. They should be ashamed of themselves. This place needs to re-evaluate what it means to serve a community and uphold their humanitarian values, because right now, it’s anything but that.

Staff are wonderful! Prices are always reasonable!
Great addition to our kinder classroom for $40, retails for over 200 and just like new!

This is my favourite thrift store. Clean. Well organized, fair pricing, volunteer run--truly a charity. And lots of good finds!
Gtrat thrift store. Lots of selection. As with all thrift stores it's luck of the draw. Sometimes you hit the jackpot, and sometimes you walk out with nothing.
Every time I've found things, the prices are way better than that other large, overpriced, for profit store with the RED LETTER name.
Mission stores are true thrift stores with the buyer in mind. They price things for those who can't afford the OTHER store. AND, it's great quality stuff. Very pleased with this store.

Some of the nicest staff I've met for a thrift store, very good deals for anything you can get your hands on.
Mission Thrift Store offers great services and affordable prices. The volunteers and staff are incredibly friendly, and the store maintains a clean and welcoming environment. We love shopping here!🥰
The customer service is amazing! The staff and volunteers are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. And the cleanliness of the premises is impeccable, which is very reassuring. I highly recommend it to all second-hand treasure hunters!
