The Salvation Army - National Recycling Operations

We are the only national division within The Salvation Army, as well as one of Canada’s largest textile collectors and a leader in textile diversion in the charitable sector. We strive to extend the lifecycle of donated items through our stores, Distribution & Recycling Centres (DRCs), and partners to support our environment most effectively and share the benefit of thrift for all. Through our Thrift Stores we offer savings on gently used clothing, textiles, and household items while supporting Salvation Army programs, services, and emergency relief efforts.

Mission:
Our role, within the context of The Salvation Army, is both to generate funds to help The Salvation Army achieve its mission, and to have a positive influence in our communities.

Vision:
By operating successful Thrift Stores and integrating with the mission and work of The Salvation Army as a whole, we exist as a functioning and thriving modern day model of William Booth’s “Household Salvage Brigade” through which the marginalized and excluded of society are refreshed and regenerated by meeting their practical needs.
