Many thrift stores are nonprofit organizations\, using donated items and store sales to support meaningful work in their communities \n\n\n\nWhen you shop or donate at a nonprofit thrift store\, the dollars raised are reinvested back into the community through programs such as healthcare\, housing support\, job training\, education\, food assistance\, Veterans’ services\, and other essential resources. Thrift stores also support sustainability by keeping usable items in circulation and out of landfills\, contributing to a more circular way of consuming \n\n\n\nThis Thrift Store Crawl brings these ideas together by inviting you to visit local thrift shops\, discover new stores\, learn what each one supports\, and see how shopping thoughtfully and donating intentionally can create real\, positive change for both the community and the environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpend $10 at each participating store to earn a sticker. Collect all stickers\, then return your completed brochure with your information to any store for entry into the raffle\, drawn the week of August 25. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipating Shops\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s participating thrift stores are: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoybound Thrift Store\, Cat Lounge & Adoption Center benefitting Joybound People & Pets \n\n\n\n\n1950 Market Street\, Concord\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Garrett Thrift Shop benefitting John Muir Health \n\n\n\n\n1530 3rd Avenue\, Walnut Creek\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeftovers Thrift Shop benefitting Contra Costa Crisis Center \n\n\n\n\n2281 Olympic Boulevard\, Walnut Creek\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCreative Upcycle \n\n\n\n\n1660 Contra Costa Boulevard\, Pleasant Hill\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Thrift Station benefitting Discovery Counseling Center of the San Ramon Valley \n\n\n\n\n486 San Ramon Valley Boulevard\, Danville\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHabitat for Humanity ReStore benefitting Habitat for Humanity East Bay / Silicon Valley \n\n\n\n\n2080 Diamond Boulevard\, Concord\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRescued Treasures benefitting Community Concern for Cats \n\n\n\n\n1270 Newell Avenue\, Walnut Creek\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiving Partners Thrift Shop benefitting Diablo Valley Giving Partners \n\n\n\n\n3521 Golden Gate Way\, Lafayette\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaint Anthony’s Thrift and Home Organizing \n\n\n\n\n1 Orinda Way\, Orinda\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHospice Thrift Shoppes benefitting Hospice East Bay \n\n\n\n\n550 Morello Avenue\, Martinez\, CA\n\n\n\n1536 Newell Avenue\, Walnut Creek\, CA\n\n\n\n959 Contra Costa Boulevard\, Pleasant Hill\, CA\n\n\n\n444 Diablo Road\, Danville\, CA\n\n\n\n5350 Clayton Road\, Concord\, CA\n\n\n\n3162 Danville Boulevard\, Alamo\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more URL:https://youth.arflife.org/event/east-bay-thrift-store-crawl-2026/ LOCATION:Joybound Thrift Store\, Cat Lounge & Adoption Center\, 1950 Market St\, Concord\, CA\, 94520\, United States CATEGORIES:Social Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://youth.arflife.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/East-Bay-Thrift-Store-Crawl-logo-400x300-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260802T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260802T140000 DTSTAMP:20260701T221246Z CREATED:20260521T225243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260701T221246Z UID:10001742-1785668400-1785679200@youth.arflife.org SUMMARY:Mobile Adoptions at the Streets of Brentwood DESCRIPTION:With stops at local parks\, shopping centers\, and community events\, we make it easy and convenient to find your perfect furry companion. \n\n\n\nEvery mobile adoption event is staffed with knowledgeable team members who can help match you with the ideal pet based on your lifestyle and preferences.

This is based on camper and animal safety and well-being\, as well as availability. Any camper who interacts inappropriately with Joybound animals will be removed from the situation immediately\, and parent/guardian contacted.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes my child have to view clinic surgery? \n\n\n\nNo\, campers are not required to view clinic surgery – it is always optional. Camp Joybound includes information\, photos\, and live viewing of animal surgery. We welcome students to try the experience.

Interested in sponsoring a shelter animal? Your tax-deductible donation can cover the adoption fee of a shelter pet and give a family an extra incentive to adopt them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSOR AN ADOPTION FEE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Included?\n\n\n\nAll animals are spayed or neutered\, current on vaccinations\, microchipped\, de-wormed\, and given flea/tick preventative. Animals are sent home with a welcome home supply of Purina food.
