Every purchase at our Joy Junction Thrift Shoppe helps our ministry of serving those who are hungry or homeless. If you are looking for a bargain on clothing, furniture, dishware, small appliances, home décor, toys, games, books, and so much more, look no further!

Our thrift shoppe is located at 11030 Menaul Blvd NE, just west of Juan Tabo (across from the Walmart Market). We gladly welcome clean, gently used donated items that are in working condition and are fully functioning (must not need to be repaired, refurbished, laundered, shampooed, or require stain removal) at this location between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., during our regular business days of service. Please deliver the donations to the warehouse that is located directly behind the store.

Our shelter location (4500 2nd Street SW, South Valley) receives donations every day of the week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please review the list of items, below, that we do and do not receive, so you will not make an unnecessary trip to the South Valley.

Select items are set aside for our guests to receive free of charge, if they need provisions.

The store has been managed and worked by Joy Junction employees since its inception. It is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It is closed on Sunday.

We receive donation items between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the days we are open.
