Clock Tower Thrift Shop is a special program of Northern Virginia Family Service that supports its community work. It offers unique, quality goods to thrifters, collectors, and savvy shoppers looking for art, handbags, accent pieces, or home essentials. All items are marked below market rates, serving both client budgets and the circular economy. Shopping here helps a local business and neighbors in need.
The shop is praised for really great finds at reasonable and very fair prices, much better than other thrift stores. It is well-organized, presented, and notably clean. While not huge and with a selection that isn't vast, there is a nice variety of good quality items. These range from kids' toys, antiques, vintage pieces, clothing, and household goods to decor, including a beloved collection of prints, paintings, and vintage postcards. Some note the pants section can be lackluster. The staff and volunteers are consistently described as very friendly, contributing to a true community shop that is service-oriented and a pleasure to visit.
