BridgeLife Thrift Store Donation Policy

We greatly appreciate your donations that will support Bridge Women’s Center and Calvary Christian School, both ministries of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge.

BridgeLife Thrift is a non-profit ministry of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, not a consignment store. All items sold at BridgeLife Thrift are donated and are tax deductible.

BridgeLife Thrift reserves the right to refuse items that are not in good condition. Please remember that if you have a garage sale and items did not sell, they will not sell here and we kindly ask you to not bring these items to BridgeLife Thrift.

Thank you for understanding our policy. Removal and disposal of these items that we cannot sell creates an additional expense to BridgeLife Thrift’s ministry.

Please be sure to send all furniture / large item inquiries with photos to info@bridgelifethrift.org before visiting with your donation.
