About This Store
Worthington Thrift Shop is a beloved charity thrift store in Columbus, Ohio, staffed entirely by volunteers and dedicated to supporting cancer patients and families through the Columbus Cancer Clinic and breast cancer research. The shop offers a thoughtfully curated selection of quality merchandise at very reasonable prices, including clothing, housewares, china, glassware, and a notably larger-than-average selection of craft and sewing supplies than typical thrift stores. Since relocating to a new, less claustrophobic space, the store features regularly changed displays and avoids overcrowding, making for a pleasant shopping experience. Customers frequently praise finding unique trinkets, kitchen wares, and gently used clothing at bargain prices, with a special pricing system where items marked with a two-hole punch are just $1 each. The shop's commitment to quality means they are selective about donations, ensuring the merchandise is in good condition. While the store has a passionate local following and many describe the volunteers as friendly and helpful, some customers have reported inconsistent experiences with staff attitudes, particularly near closing time. Overall, Worthington Thrift Shop remains a community pillar where shoppers can find hidden gems while supporting a worthy cause.
