About CRC's Resale Stores
Our Resale Stores generate critical funds to help people in our community experiencing domestic violence, hunger and homelessness.
CRC Resale Stores are your local thrift stores, located in Encinitas and San Marcos in North San Diego County. Our stores are an important part of our mission and accomplish several objectives:
- Generate critical funding for our programs.
- Provide clothing and furniture to CRC’s program participants.
- Help local students and adults in workability and transition programs acquire marketable work skills.
- Donated items reduce landfill waste.
Every item sold in our stores has been donated by a member of the community. Your donations and purchases make a difference in the lives of those in need. Please stop by our North County thrift stores to shop or donate preloved items.
Thank you!
