Mission Statement
The St. Matthew’s Thrift Shop, operated by St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in the Pacific Palisades, is dedicated to two service missions. We sell donations of high-quality, gently used clothes and goods at reasonable prices. And, we donate all of our proceeds to non-profit agencies that serve people in need.
About The Thrift Shop
The St. Matthew’s Thrift Shop is a major outreach program of the Parish of St. Matthew in the Pacific Palisades that has operated at 2812 Main Street in Santa Monica for over 65 years.
The Thrift Shop sells gently used items that are donated by parishioners and community members. Our merchandise includes men’s and women’s clothing, accessories, jewelry, shoes, children’s clothing and toys, books, and household goods. Our special section of designer clothes and accessories is very popular.
Grant Recipients
The Thrift Shop’s profits are donated to non-profit agencies in the Los Angeles area, mostly on the Westside. The agencies are carefully reviewed by our Board of Directors for the value they bring to people in need and we are honored to support their wonderful work. The agencies include: Safe Place for Youth, People Concern, Venice Family Clinic, St. Joseph’s Center, Westside Food Bank, St. Margaret’s Center, Las Familias del Pueblo, A Sense of Home, and Camp Stevens.
Donate
Our donors come from the Parish of St. Matthew’s, the St. Matthew’s Parish School, and the community. Without their generosity, we would not be able to operate our wonderful shop. Thank you to all our past, current, and future donors.
VOLUNTEERS
More than 50 volunteers, who come from the church and local community, prepare our inventory and operate the store. Thank you to all our volunteers – you make the Thrift Shop successful!
