Family Thrift Store
In October 2019, Life Network opened its first Life Network Family Thrift Store, located at 5406 N. Academy Blvd. The vision for this new venture had been developing for several years, as the Board and leadership looked for a way to expand our impact to clients and patients as well as the greater Colorado Springs community. Then, in September 2024, Life Network opened its second location on the rapidly expanding Eastside of our community at 7177 Meridian Rd.
These two Life Network Family Thrift Stores not only provide quality, affordable goods to our clients, patients, and community members but also will provide proceeds that benefit the ministry of Life Network through our other outreaches. Our mission at each location is to bring joy to life!
The Family Thrift Store is made possible through donated items from our supporters and the public, and the work of many volunteers. If you would like to donate quality new or gently used items to the Thrift Store, please visit our two locations, Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. For a complete list of items that we do and don’t accept, please visit the Thrift Store website here.
If you would like to join the welcoming team of volunteers at the Family Thrift Store, please take a look at our Thrift Store Volunteer Application. Our store has many volunteer opportunities throughout the week, both in the front of the store working with customers and in the back processing donations. We welcome any hours you can commit to. Thank you for considering being part of the community at the Life Network Family Thrift Store!
