Welcome to Nanaimo Hospice Thrift Shoppe!

Every purchase and donation makes a meaningful difference in our community.

Thank you so much for your support.

100% of our proceeds support Nanaimo Community Hospice, helping us continue to provide free grief, palliative, and wellness support programs, education, and resources for children, youth, adults, and families navigating grief, death, and end-of-life.

We have 55 volunteers who contribute over 1,500 hours every month. They greet you with a smile, help you find what you need, sort and price items to give you the best deals, and handle all the heavy lifting. When you buy something special, they are the ones who thank you warmly for your support.

💙✨ A new way to Celebrate a Life this holiday season ✨💚

Your ornament can be saved as a special keepsake or shared with family and friends, allowing you to celebrate the life and memory of someone special togetherwherever you may be. 💙
