friendly thrift center
The Friendly Thrift Center has served the Quad City community since 1970 when six Davenport and Bettendorf United Methodist Churches came together to form an organization of charitable, benevolent and educational purposes. Staffed completely by volunteers, the Friendly Thrift Center sells donated new and used clothing and household goods at very affordable prices to persons of need in the community.
In addition to goods sold at reasonable prices, items are given without charge to individuals and families who are unable to pay even nominal charges as vouched by other agencies.
The organization is self-supporting and any funds remaining after operating expenses are distributed by grants to other non-profit social services agencies serving the Quad City community.
We are always looking for volunteers to receive, sort and sell merchandise.
Friendly Thrift Center is currently open Wednesday through Saturday, 9 am to noon. We accept donations anytime we are open but prefer before 11 am. Donations must be in closed boxes or bags in order for us to properly quarantine them. We honor agency issued vouchers from 9-11am. We would love to see you. Please visit us soon at 1411 Brady St, Davenport. We are upstairs on the west end of the building. Items especially needed at this time (September 2021): men's clothing, pants, jeans, and lounge pants in particular. Since we're moving into Fall, men's sweat pants are needed, too. Donations of men's socks and underwear, clean and lightly used, will be accepted. Those won't be sold in the Thrift Store, but will be given out when someone comes in with a clothing voucher. The Thrift Store can also use queen and king sized sheets and blankets.
Also needed are new volunteers. If you have questions, please email us at FriendlyThriftCenterQC@gmail.com
