Our Story

Thrift for Good® began with a simple question: What if shopping secondhand could be as enjoyable as buying new?

We believed the used-goods industry could do more, for shoppers, nonprofits, communities, and the environment. So instead of accepting the way thrift stores had always operated, we set out to build something different.

From day one, our goal has been to create a cleaner, more organized, technology-driven secondhand shopping experience while giving donors the power to choose which local nonprofit benefits from the items they give.

What began with one store in Hurst has grown into retail, donation processing, wholesale, personal styling, and technology development, all built around finding better ways to keep usable goods in circulation.

And we're still building.

Charities on our list

Every donated item has the potential to do more. When an item sells, 25% of the sale benefits the nonprofit selected by the donor, creating a direct connection between giving, shopping, and local impact.

With more than 400 participating nonprofits, donors can choose the causes that matter most to them.

How We're Different

Smarter Processing

Donations are sorted and processed through systems designed specifically for the complexity of used goods, helping us identify what can be sold, redistributed, or given another useful life.

Donor-Directed Giving

Our model allows donors to select which participating nonprofit benefits from their donated items. When those items sell, 25% of the sale supports that organization.

More Ways to Keep Goods in Use

Not everything belongs on a retail sales floor. Through our stores, wholesale operation, specialty sales, and charitable distribution, we work to find the best next use for donated goods.

Building a Better System for Used Goods

We want to create supply chains where none have existed before.

Our retail stores and donation processing facilities serve as living laboratories, allowing us to continually test and improve how secondhand goods are collected, processed, priced, and sold.

At our Hurst facility, thousands of donated items move through systems designed specifically for the complexity of used goods. By sorting inventory into detailed categories and identifying the best sales channel for each item, we can better match supply with demand across retail, wholesale, specialty markets, and charitable distribution.

Through Used is Made Here, our wholesale division, we also help resellers and independent retailers access organized, curated secondhand inventory without relying solely on traditional sourcing methods.

Everything we learn helps us build smarter processes that keep more usable goods in circulation and make the secondhand economy more efficient.

Custom Software

Most inventory, point-of-sale, and e-commerce systems were designed for businesses selling multiples of the same product, not thousands of unique used items.

That's why we're developing technology specifically for the secondhand industry. Our custom systems help streamline inventory management, improve pricing consistency, track merchandise, and create better data around how used goods move through our operation.

By combining better technology with what we learn every day in our stores and processing facilities, we're working to make secondhand retail more efficient, scalable, and easier to manage.
