Thrift for a cause
20 Balsam Street, Unit 6, Collingwood ON
Open Tues - Sat 10 am - 5 pm
We’re a community-powered thrift store turning preloved clothing into second chances for women & children.
What We Do
Common Thread is a nonprofit thrift store supporting My Friend’s House. We collect, curate, and sell secondhand clothing to raise funds, provide community care, and offer second chances — one outfit at a time. Since opening our store in early October 2025 we have raised $15,000 for our local women & children’s shelter.
How to Get Involved
Donate Clothing: We accept gently used clothing and accessories for women, men and kids. Clothing must be clean and in excellent condition (no rips or stains). Donations are accepted at our receiving door located at the back of our building. Ring our doorbell and one of our friendly volunteers will assist you. * Tues-Sat.
Volunteer With Us: Help us sort, style, or staff the store — or lend a hand at events. We welcome volunteers ages 14+. Volunteer shifts are 2 hrs weekly. We use a volunteer scheduling app so it is easy to book or reschedule a shift. * Please note we currently have a volunteer waitlist.
Shop With Us: At Common Thread you can expect one of a kind fashion finds and quality brand name clothing and accessories. We uphold a high quality resale standard and have new items arriving daily. Our goal is to provide a feel-good thrift experience.
Your support makes real impact here.
