How does a city become a community? Certainly, it is to find a common good. A nucleus of common good is found in the work of many nonprofits in the community of Bellingham who have found that life is better when working together.
The community of our nonprofits is strong through the work of volunteers — to do together what could not be done alone.
One vital nonprofit is Assistance League of Bellingham, an all-volunteer organization whose members are dedicated to ongoing support and a lasting presence in our community through hands-on involvement and five innovative philanthropic programs.
The main revenue support for our philanthropic programs is our Thrift & Gift Shop — an upscale resale shop in Bellingham where gently used, donated items are carefully curated. We carry a variety of women’s and men’s fashionable clothing and accessories, furniture, collectibles, art, housewares, home décor, jewelry, antiques, and much more.
We were voted the #1 Best Thrift Shop by Cascadia Daily News. When you shop at or donate to the Thrift & Gift Shop at 2817 Meridian Street, you’re directly supporting our philanthropic programs.
