We’re gearing up for one of our most exciting holidays of the year — at least in the thrift world – it’s National Thrift Shop Day on Sunday, August 17. And guess what? YOU’RE INVITED.
This day recognizes the benefits of shopping at and donating to thrift stores: saving money, reducing waste, and supporting charitable organizations.
From August 14 to 17, all Goodwill of Orange County stores will be buzzing with exclusive merch, giveaways, discounts, and surprises that celebrate the joy of thrifting and the power of purpose. You don’t want to miss out on the fun!
Every time you shop at a Goodwill OC store, you’re doing more than finding great deals — you’re supporting job training and employment services right here in Orange County. Whether you choose to shop or donate, you’re fueling a mission that transforms lives. At Goodwill OC, every purchase is a step toward purpose-driven impact.
Here’s everything you need to know to join the celebration and get access to our exclusive offerings:
Fountain Valley Swag Pop-Up: August 14–17
