Our Mission

To focus upon ministering to the community as Jesus Christ ministered to the multitude, helping return individuals and families to a state of physical, emotional, and spiritual well being as a Christian community outreach program. 

Our History

The St. James' Thrift Shop was started many years ago, by a lifelong Mt. Airy resident and members of St. James, in an old two-story building on Main Street.  The entire Mt. Airy community would drop off clothing, furniture and appliances to the thrift shop for resale.  For many years, the volunteers of this shop would sort and resell the clothing and other items that people donated.  People came from everywhere to stop and shop at the store because they knew there were real bargains to be found.  The Thrift Shop also often donates clothing and household items to fire victims, Pregnancy Crisis Center, Frederick Rescue Mission, Animal Rescue, foster families, public schools, Lions Club, Mt. Airy NET, Jaycees, and to those in our community experiencing a hardship.

Unfortunately, The Thrift Shop cannot accept any type of furniture or large appliances such as washing machines, etc.  We do not have the space or the manpower to accommodate such items.  This includes mattresses and box springs which are not permitted to be resold due to health regulations.

Donations from the community are extremely generous, and we are always very thankful.  The helping hands from our church family and community friends also continue to help support all of our hard work.
