The Common Good Thrift Store

As a program of East Central Ministries (ECM), the Common Good Thrift has been an important financial driver for ECM’s community work in the International District. Pressing community needs have changed, so we respond and adapt. ECM (soon to be Streetvision Housing Strategies) is focusing on new strategies and solutions to the housing crisis. With starting a new community land trust, we are working to build new models of housing that people can afford. Support, interest and involvement is needed and welcomed.

We are sad to announce that the Common Good Thrift Store is closing. For 12 years, many have contributed to making this little thrift store a place of “Common Good” for our community. While this store is closing, our work of creating communities that are “good for all” continues on, just in new ways and spaces.

Our deepest gratitude to everyone! Soon we will be announcing liquidation sale days to reduce all the store merchandise, and also be together to reminisce and celebrate.

No shareholders. No bottom lines.
Just neighbors supporting neighbors.
That's our Common Good. 🏡✨

Hi friends! FYI, here is a list of items we *do not* accept for donation at The Common Good. Happy summer :)

Community work isn’t always visible.
Sometimes it looks like sorting clothes, greeting neighbors, and making space for all.
We’re organizing for the Common Good. 🧡👕

Your neighbors bring in the treasures - one-of-a-kind pieces with stories, history, and heart.
Donating here keeps it local. Shopping here keeps it personal.
Come find what your community has to offer. 🧺🧡

The future looks like this:
Reused. Regifted. Reinvested.
The Common Good Thrift - non-profit by nature. 🌿

What if a thrift store could feel like home?
At the Common Good, we’re building more than shelves of secondhand goods—we’re building belonging. 🧡🏡

We’re looking for orgs & volunteers who care about community, mutual aid, and real collective action. Let’s partner up and do some good together!🤝💛
