We love shopping at the MHA Thrift Store. They have a ton of DVDs, CDs and puzzles, overflowing the shelves so much that some are kept in boxes on the floor. Of course they also have the typical thrift store selection of books, toys, household & kitchen items, and clothes.
The store entrance faces the rear parking lot behind the building, a bit hard to find on first visit. GPS maps really help here. Look for the MHA cardboard sign inside the corner display window to identify the correct driveway into the parking lot.
The atmosphere is rather quiet inside, with very few customers usually, and they don't play music on speakers. It may feel eerie at first, but should become meditative over time.
With patience and perseverance, surprising treasures can be found here. Our proudest score is a nearly mint condition original boxed set of Nat King Cole collection vinyl LP albums. Every time we listen to them, we thank whoever had the kind heart to donate them, and thank the store for giving us the opportunity to acquire them.
Naturally, we donate to the store as well. We hope our own parted treasures find their way to good homes.
Unfortunately, the last 3 times we tried to visit the store, it was closed during normal hours. We suspect the problem is with staffing. We have always only seen one super nice and friendly lady at the counter, so maybe they have a shortage of volunteers to keep the doors open. We really hope the situation will improve soon, because this has been such a wonderful place. read more
