Mount Seymour United Church

Housed in a remodeled church complex in North Van, Mount Seymour United's thrift store is a genuine community gem. The jewelry section's separate room is a peaceful spot to hunt for treasures, and I've consistently scored great clothing deals here. What really makes this place special is how it feeds directly back into local homeless programs. There's a cozy cafe attached too - perfect for a homemade lunch after bargain hunting. The volunteers are wonderfully friendly, and the constant flow of quality donations from neighbors keeps the shelves stocked with affordable finds. It's got that warm, welcoming energy that makes thrifting feel good for the soul.
