HOW IT WORKS
New items rolled out multiple times a day!
Everything is discounted! Ignore the price tags, you pay by weight.
SHOP
Shop for what you like and disregard the tag prices, as you pay for everything by weight. Weigh scales will be located in the shop for your convenience.
PRICE LIST
- Clothing, footware & accessories = $1.88/lb or $4.14/kg
- Housewares & books = $0.88/lb or $1.94/kg
- Jewellery = $8.88/lb or $12.94/kg
NEW LIFE
One of our goals is to rePurpose items into usable products. One such product is Industrial Rags. An environmentally friendly alternative to paper towels or disposable shop towels. Industrial rags are perfect for all-purpose cleaning in the office, in the shop, on the plant floor, or on the farm! We sell 25-pound bales for $20, 5-pound bags for $5 and take Custom Orders. Click here for more information or to order.
COMMUNITY
No one else is selling used items by the pound in our Region, and the rePurpose Centre is filling this void in a significant way. By-the-pound shopping is the most cost-effective way to purchase and is saving families even more on everything from clothing, toys and sporting goods, to housewares, home décor, and books!
SAVING OUR WORLD
We want to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment! Our extensive recycling and repurposing programs provide assurance that we’ll make a greater impact, build stronger communities and reduce our carbon footprint!
Last year MCC Thrift Shops diverted over 600,000cubic feet of waste from local landfills.
600,000 Cubic feet of material is the same size as...
Blue Whales
City Buses
Olympic Pools
SHOP
You’ll find what you need to complete an outfit, gear up for a weekend away or find that unique piece to complete your room.
Deeper discounts on quality used items originally featured at one of our ten retail locations! More savings passed on to you every day at our rePurpose Centre in Elmira.
OR visit one of our nine retail locations around Southwestern Ontario where you’ll get first chance at treasures and unique finds. Donated goods are accepted at these locations only – the rePurpose Centre does NOT accept donations
WHY MCC
Since 1920 Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) has lived by their mission to impact disadvantaged people through their work in relief, development and peace.
Locally in Ontario we work with refugee resettlement, people in poverty, Indigenous and Low German communities and restorative justice. From our Kitchener warehouse, we ship material aid like health and relief kits overseas to places like Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.
Globally we work with communities impacted by conflict and natural disasters in 72 different countries. We’re meeting needs at a basic level through our partners as we provide food aid, agricultural assistance, education and we work toward bringing peace to areas of conflict. We are deeply aware that we could not do any of this work without strategic partners, donors and shoppers like you. To learn more about our work go to www.mcco.ca
