The Salvation Army in Canada owns and operates all Salvation Army Thrift Stores and has done so for more than 100 years. In urban communities across Canada, the majority of Thrift Stores are overseen by The Salvation Army’s National Recycling Operations (NRO) division. Thrift Stores not operated by NRO are overseen by Salvation Army Ministries such as the local Church or Community and Family Services.
The Salvation Army is the country’s largest non-governmental provider of social programs. All Salvation Army Thrift Stores, are 100 percent charity-based and exist to generate funds to support Salvation Army programs and services that help residents in the areas in which they operate. All donated clothing. furniture and household items are efficiently and ethically recycled and sold to offer practical assistance to people in need of support.
