Edmonds Senior Center Thrift Store has been an integral part of the Edmonds community since 1969. Our primary goal is to raise funds for senior programs that address the health, wellness and recreational needs of our members. We provide a wide variety of donated merchandise, including clothing, housewares, paintings, arts & crafts, games and puzzles, books, CD/DVD/Audio Books, and much more at highly affordable prices.
 
Over 250 people will join us that day to raise funds for our vital programming. This third annual fashion show has grown from 50 attendees in the first year to expected 250 or more this year.
 
While Edmonds Senior Center Thrift Store supports all health, wellness and recreational programs throughout the year, this year’s Annual Fashion Show specifically supports the Community Café.

• The Community Café goes straight to the heart of our mission. We are committed to addressing food insecurity among seniors as well as social isolation worsened during the pandemic. The Senior Lunch Program addresses both of those issues. At Edmonds Waterfront Center, seniors needing extra help accessing a nutritious meal make a very nominal contribution appropriate for their budget, while other community members pay market rates. This program is fully funded by donations, receiving no federal or state funding. No one knows who is getting a subsidized meal or paying full price. We all eat together.

 
Facts you should know:

• Edmonds Senior Center Thrift Store’s 100 volunteers price, merchandise and window dress a 3,100 sq ft facility in Westgate Shopping Center, keeping the store open Monday – Saturday from 10 am – 5 pm.
• We process OVER 20,000 pieces of merchandise each month and are fully dependent upon donations.

The store is responsible for a significant amount of annual funding for the many programs, services and activities of Edmonds Waterfront Center that serves thousands of seniors and community members each year
