Animal welfare

There are a number of animal welfare organisations that operate thrift shops.  The SPCA doesn't really count as operating shops as the organisation licenses its name out to small operators in return for a cut of revenue. The Kelowna branch (or auxiliary) however does offer a monthly bazaar and lunch sale at the First United Church.

The SPCA has these franchise shops in Sidney, View Royal, Vancouver (2), North Vancouver, Surrey (Cloverdale), Richmond (Updated March 2017: Richmond has lost the smaller SPCA shop), New West and Port Alberni (updated 9 December 2016).

Other animal welfare shops include the Wildlife one in Vancouver, a horse rescue/welfare one in Langley, a cat one in Sidney (which also has an SPCA shop a street or two over).  There is also a horse rescue on in Falkland but it has never been open whenever we've passed through.

Central Richmond

Most thrift shops in Richmond and located around either the north end of No. 3 Rd or down in Steveston.  A very small one, Richmond Family Place, came to my attention.  On Ash Street at Debeek school (Between 3 and 4 Road, Francis and Blundell, it is also very cramp due to space.  Mostly clothes and some housewares.  The volunteers try to keep it organised.   Parking in the school yard.
