charity shop

A charity shop is a retail store that sells donated goods to raise money for a specific charitable organization. These shops often feature second-hand items such as clothing, books, furniture, and household items. Volunteers typically staff the stores, and the proceeds support various charitable causes, such as community services, health initiatives, or environmental projects. Charity shops not only provide affordable options for shoppers but also promote recycling and sustainability by giving pre-loved items a new life instead of being discarded. They are common in many countries and play a valuable role in both the community and the charity sector.
