Value Village is part of a North American chain that sells donated goods and gives a portion of their revenues to affiliated charities. They have come under criticism for not being, strictly speaking, a charity shop, but they do help a lot of local charities that wouldn't otherwise be able to fundraise on their own and recycle a great deal of clothing, electronics and furniture that otherwise would find it's way to the landfill.
