UCHS Thrift Shop

The Upper Credit Humane Society Thrift Shop is our largest source of revenue, contributing funds to cover approximately 35% of our annual shelter operating expenses. The store is staffed entirely by volunteers and all money raised at the Thrift Shop goes to support the UCHS.

The Thrift Store is located at 68 Main St. N., Georgetown and is open for donations during operating hours. Donations are accepted at the back of building. Please DO NOT leave donations when we are closed.

Due to limited space we cannot accept large items such as appliances, however small pieces of furniture and gently used household items are very much appreciated. 

We are always happy to accept the following items:

• Household items
• China/flatware
• Clothing and Jewellery (We have a limited area for clothing. We can only accept new or like-new items)
• Games and Books (excluding Encyclopedias, text books, and Reader's Digests)
• Small furniture & small appliances
• Electronic equipment excluding computer hardware such as monitors, printers and keyboards. Please no televisions that are older than 10 years of age or very large and heavy.

Items we can NOT accept are as follows:

• Used helmets
• Child car seats
• Any broken items or those with missing parts

If in doubt about the suitability of your donation please feel free to call one of our volunteers at 905-702-8661.

If you enjoy helping animals, we could use your help in the Thrift Shop. We would like to extend our hours of operation, but we need volunteers to do this.

Volunteers are needed to work in all areas, including:

• Sorting merchandise
• Pricing
• Sales

There is always room for volunteers who are able to repair furniture and refinish some items.

Forty hours of community service for high school students

This is a great place to gain some retail and customer service experience for your resume and, at the same time, know that what you are doing is contributing greatly to the needs of the animals in our shelter.
