Temporary New Shop Hours

VOLUNTEERS
We are always looking for friendly faces to volunteer.  Volunteers bring a variety of interest and talent to the shop, so if you would like to donate your time, please stop by the Shop or call during business hours to let us know.  We will have our Volunteer Coordinator contact you with several opportunities that may be of interest to you.  We provide training on the job. 

ABOUT 

The Nearly New Thrift Shop opened almost 50 years ago through the hard work and dedication of a group of women of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Nassau Bay, Texas.  Their mission was to raise funds for deserving charities.

Today, we continue that mission with a faithful 100% volunteer staff and our loyal, generous donors and consignors.  The Shop's charitable support has included:  St. Vincent's House, The Bridge, Habitat for Humanity, Brigid's Hope, schools throughout the local and Houston community, hurricane relief, Meals on Wheels, partners in the community, and many others in need.

Consignments & Donations will start on September 10
