The Cannon Thrift Shop



Did you know that the CSC Spouses’ Club has an amazing Thrift Shop? Did you know that the Thrift Shop operates on a shoestring so that very nearly all of the proceeds can be donated? Did you know that the Thrift Shop is completely staffed with volunteers? The CSC is not just a social club, but also a club committed to raising money to support many worthy organizations such as Wounded Warriors, Spouses Scholarships, and the Portales Children’s Home, just to name a few. A large percentage of those funds come from your Thrift Shop.

We are in need of volunteers! This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the base community, meet new friends, and earn Volunteer Rewards Points. Volunteers at the Thrift Shop sort donations, organize the shop, help customers, and keep the shop clean. It takes many hands to keep our shop so beautiful! Never been to the Thrift Shop? Come check us out! We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it is. 

Your CSC Thrift Shop is in need of donations! We accept furniture, clothes, household items, toys, and shoes just to name a few. Items should be in new or like-new condition. Not sure if your donations can be accepted? Please see the list on the Cannon Thrift Shop FB page for items that are not currently accepted or give us a call. The Thrift Shop re-donates items it cannot carry to the Lighthouse Mission so that every item finds a good home. 

The Thrift Shop is open on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10AM – 2PM and on Thursday from 1PM – 4PM. We are located in the building next to the Library. For more information contact Marci at 575-748-7878 (during Thrift Shop hours only) or 575-218-0880 (cell).
