***NOTE: The Education Funding thrift store closed it's doors on June 29, due to apparent gross mismanagement.***
Education Funding For The Children Of Alberta Society. No website, apparently the store donates a portion of it's revenues to the aforementioned charity. I suspect it's a "For Profit" model business, with slight donations to give them charitable status. Ask for details when in the store.
Location:
1611 37 Street SW
Calgary, AB
Phone: 403.217.3306
Hours: Vary.
Prices: Expensive.
Chance of finding a bargain: Slender.
Chance of finding a treasure: Average.
Merchandise: Clothing, housewares, derelict furniture and books.
Overall: It exudes hope, with it's bags of donations piled carelessly throughout the store, but prices tend to be arbitrarily decided by staff on a "how much do you want it" basis. Overall not worth stopping in unless you happen to be in the neighborhood.
