About CRCI Thrift Store
More than a thrift store — a second chance
Every item you donate and every purchase you make helps fund free, Christ-centered residential recovery for men and women across Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Shopping that changes lives
At Christian Recovery Centers Thrift Stores, every dollar generated by the sale of items pours directly into our charitable services — keeping them free of charge for the participants in our program.
When you shop or donate, you’re contributing to our mission of providing the spiritual and educational tools necessary for long-term recovery from the illness of addiction and the beginning of a successful life.

A free program, funded by community
CRCI offers a free 6–8 month residential treatment program designed to help men and women overcome addiction.
During the program, participants benefit from a comprehensive range of support — including therapy, pastoral counseling, peer mentoring, and other proven treatment methods. Upon completing the program, residents can continue their journey in our aftercare program (Phase 4), which provides ongoing support for up to 18 months.
A three-way partnership
We see our thrift stores as a partnership between the people who make it all possible.
