South Coast Children's Services Thrift Shop is a nonprofit store where proceeds go directly to supporting children and families on the San Mateo coast. Shop here and make a real difference.
⚓ Proudly Supporting SCCSReviewers describe it as warm, welcoming, and full of good stuff. A community gem with fair prices, a friendly cat, and a cause worth supporting.
Customers consistently report finding genuinely special items — not just average thrift fare. "Full of good stuff" is how regulars put it.
Prices are described as very fair — and every dollar goes back into the community supporting South Coast children's programs.
The last weekend of every month, everything in the store is 50% off. An incredible deal — regulars know to plan ahead.
There's a cat napping in a basket who loves to be pet. One reviewer gave 5 stars specifically for this. You'll see why.
This isn't a chain — it's a neighborhood institution. Locals call it "magical" and keep coming back visit after visit.
Every item purchased directly funds children's services in the Pescadero area. Shopping here is one of the most feel-good things you can do on the coast.
Tucked along Pescadero Creek Road, South Coast Children's Services Thrift Shop is a small space packed with big finds and bigger heart. Locals and visitors alike keep coming back — for the treasure hunt, the warm atmosphere, and the knowledge that their dollars stay in the community.
Rotating inventory — new donations come in regularly, so every visit is a different experience
Community-run — staffed with warmth and care by people who genuinely love this place
Sustainable shopping — give items new life while keeping them out of landfills
Resident cat — there's a very agreeable cat who lives in the shop and loves visitors
We want donations for the kids, not the dump! Your contribution funds our programs, activities and scholarships. Please bring items in good, clean condition — and see staff before leaving donations.
Our store space is limited and we can't accommodate everything. These wonderful coastside charities can help:
Every single item in the store goes half price on the last Saturday and Sunday of the month. Regulars mark their calendars. Whether you're hunting for furniture, clothing, books, or something completely unexpected — this is the day to come.
