Bibles For Missions

This little thrift store is hidden behind Nate’s Deli, in that old run down bingo hall sitting on Merivale Road. I pass it quiet frequently and always wanted to stop in, but it was never on the top of my priority list, especially with so many other thrift stores on that street.
I had some Christmas items that I wanted to donate, and thought, this is my chance to check out Bibles for Missions.
I could tell just from stepping up to the donation door that they bombarded with donations. The donation door was wide open and there were a couple of workers in the back, no greeting, acknowledgment, or thank you, so I plopped my donation down and decided to check out the store.
The first thing that I noticed were the signs placed in the entrance «please leave big purses and bags at cash, we reserve the right to search your bag,» and so on. Maybe there has been a lot of theft? Not sure, but it did not give me a friendly first impression. No greeting, or acknowledgment throughout the 15 minutes browsing the store, but there were plenty of staff on the sales floor for customer assistance/​questions.
I did not find that there was a great selection, it was like walking through grandmas basement. Nothing caught my eye here, and I was not «wowed» by anything in particular.
What stands out about this thrift store than others, is that it is mostly volunteers, and the majority of the profit goes towards their partnership with the bible league of Canada. More information found on their website:
Would I go back? Only to donate, not to shop.
