RCA Thrift is EXPANDING! (Located in Ripley, WV)

We’re pushing back the wall and adding another 2,000 sq. ft. of shopping space to better serve our community. Your support has exceeded anything we imagined during these first two months. THANK YOU!

In the coming weeks, you’ll see expanded merchandise shelving, more clothing racks, more room to shop, and the same great prices you’ve come to love.

But first… we need to clear some space.

Our students and volunteers have slashed furniture prices to help clear the floor for the expansion. Most red-tagged furniture is now just $3–$10.

Bring a truck, bring help to load, and come grab a deal before it’s gone!

We are open now, and customers are already shopping. Because we’re light on help, we aren’t able to answer messages about items shown in the video, but we’ll be glad to help you in store!

Help us make room to stage fixtures for the expansion and score a great deal in the process!

Come support the art auction at the school building (112 Jackson Avenue) tonight at 5:30!

We will be closing at 5:00 PM today (5/15/26) so our students and volunteers have time to get through town over to the school before the Senior Parade in Ripley begins. Thanks for understanding! Come visit us at Jackson Avenue and buy some one of a kind artwork and more!

Come join us this Friday!! Our Art Auction provides the opportunity to own one of our student creations and an evening full of fun and laughs!

May 15th @ 5:30!

Be watching here for item sneak peeks!

Calling all junk drawers, storage buildings, and ‘I might use this someday’ shelves… We need your stuff! 😄

Furniture. Lamps. Shelves. Kitchen items. Vintage pieces. Tools. Home décor. Board games. Small appliances. Weird little treasures from the back of your basement that somehow become somebody else’s favorite find.

The kind of things that make people text their friends: “YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND.”

*We have enough clothing to outfit a small nation. (Thank you!) What we need most right now is STUFF!

100% of every donation and purchase helps support Ripley Christian Academy and helps our students build something meaningful together through the store.

Donations accepted during store hours:
Tuesday–Friday 10–6
Saturday 10–4

Use the second driveway to access the rear of the building. Donations are accepted at the furthest door down, and we often have volunteers to help unload!

(And genuinely — thank you for not leaving donations when we’re closed. That kindness helps our volunteers and students more than you realize.)

It's been a minute since we have posted any inventory pictures! Take a peek at some of the great finds we have!

*Please note, our volunteers are busy bees and are not able to answer messages or comments. If you see something you like, stop in. We would be glad to help you!

Get Ready for Thrifty Thursday!

Fresh finds are hitting the floor daily! From furniture, home goods, books, décor, and more. Our students have been hard at work getting new items ready, and it shows!

A couple quick notes as you shop:
• All items are first come, first served—we cannot hold items
• Furniture must go home with you at the time of purchase
• Please plan to bring help for loading, as we’re not able to assist or offer delivery
• We may not be able to respond to messages about specific items—thanks for understanding as we balance store + school life!

Follow our page to see what's next!

Store Hours:
Tuesday–Friday: 10–6
Saturday: 10–4

144 Academy Drive, Ripley, WV.

Donations are accepted, ONLY during store hours. Just drive around the back of the building - follow the yellow & black signs. PLEASE do not leave donations outside when we are not open - it's a lot for our students and volunteers to move out of the way when they arrive to open the store. Thanks for your support!

Last week was our very first week open - and we’re still trying to catch our breath.

We’ll be honest… we were so busy serving people, we didn’t even get a chance to take pictures!

Here’s just a glimpse of what happened:
• 2,199 general household items sold
• 53 pieces of furniture sold
• 616 articles of clothing sold
• A sale at the register every 3.5 minutes
• 143 hours of volunteer labor

You absolutely blew our students away!

We truly didn’t expect that kind of response, and we are incredibly grateful. Every single person who walked through the door was kind, patient, and positive. That meant the world to some overwhelmed students and volunteers!

This store is student-led and volunteer-run, and 100% of proceeds go directly back to support Ripley Christian Academy and our future campus expansion (we're out of room!). Our students are learning real skills while serving our community, and you made that come to life in a powerful way this week.

We’re closed on Mondays so we can sort, clean, reset, and prepare for the week ahead. (This week especially - we’re catching our breath and getting ready for round two.)

We can’t wait to open the doors again on Tuesday!

If you shopped this week, we’d love to hear what you found 👇
