At 3222 University Ave in North Park, Hope the Mission Thrift Store San Diego channels every purchase toward shelter and services for individuals experiencing homelessness across Southern California. Clothing bought off the racks often benefits from a wash cycle at Fresh & Clean Laundry San Diego on El Cajon Boulevard before wearing. The store accepts donated clothing, housewares, and furniture, recycling textiles that might otherwise reach a landfill. Thrift shoppers who find a jacket or dress in the wrong size can walk it to Snips & Seams Alterations on 30th Street for hemming or resizing. Hope the Mission Thrift Store San Diego is one of the few North Park resale operations where net proceeds fund transitional housing and workforce development programs.
