West of Duncan on Gibbins Road - a few hundred meters past the hospital - is Duncan Seventh Day Adventist church's thrift shop. This one is hard to visit as it is rarely open, just Thursdays and 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month from 11-15. It is run by volunteers, small but well organised has interesting items at very good prices. Lots of lot parking. Proceeds go to local and international aid.
In the old part of Nanaimo on Fitzwilliam Street at Wallace is the St. Andrew's United Church shop. Located in the basement, it also volunteer-run. Small. Free lot parking. Only open M, W, Th 0930-13.
On the south end of Parksville on the old highway, at the strip mall just north of the 1st set of traffic lights is the Second Chance thrift shop where proceeds go to assist rehabilitation and community reintegration of people with brain injuries. Lots of nice collectibles here as they have partnered with a estate sale/clearance business. Very good prices for china sets. Free lot parking. Only open W-Sa.
