Salt & Light is a ministry in Urbana, Illinois, serving as both a thrift store and a grocery store to combat poverty. It offers gently-used clothing, household items, and shoes, alongside affordable groceries. The store provides plenty of good deals and great prices, with new stock rotated throughout the day. It is a cool store for thrifting where you can find a lot of good things, though it can be a bit disorganized and some items may be mislabeled. It is a great place to volunteer, being disability friendly, and fosters a strong sense of community. Donating is easy with a drop-off around the back.
I go into s&l almost weekly for a little thrifting. It can be a bit disorganized, but most thrift stores are. They do a really great job with keeping up on getting new stuff out throughout the day, and it’s typically priced fairly IMO. For a good cause, to boot. Check it out!

A good thrift store, but looks a little disorganized.

I came for the thrift shop portion of the store. The store isn't the most organized store ever, but I was able to find a lot of good things at very affordable prices!! The employees were kind and efficient, so I appreciated them as well!
