Out with the Old: Best Places to Thrift, Consign, and Donate in DFW

The first of the year is the perfect time to change habits.

Not New Year’s resolutions, necessarily. Just a change in attitude. In 2026, instead of trying to lose those pesky pounds, why not get off the fast fashion merry-go-round and start thrifting? Fast fashion relies heavily on exploitive labor practices and is very damaging to the environment. By thrifting, you’re keeping pre-loved clothing out of the landfill while saving loads of money. Win-win!

We asked the members of the Tanglewood Moms Facebook group for their favorite thrift shops and places to donate clothes. Unsurprisingly, they had the best answers!

Berry Good Buys

If you ask the Tanglewood Moms where to donate gently used clothing and home goods, or you ask for great places to thrift, you will be overwhelmed with recommendations for Berry Good Buys. Since 1988, all profits from Berry Good Buys have gone to The Archway (formerly SafeHaven) to support their work offering victims of domestic abuse a safe and stable way forward. Whether you’re donating clothes your family no longer wears or looking for a great new look, Berry Good Buys is ready to help.

Fort Worth Community Collaborative/Cowtown Closet

Fort Worth Community Collaborative (FWCC) operates Cowtown Closet, a free community closet for anyone who needs it. No judgement. FWCC sorts and repairs or upcycles gently used clothing, either stocking their storefront and emergency clothing lockers for partner agencies or recycling what cannot be used. If you want to thrift, FWCC has Donation Mondays, where, for a $5 donation, you can find anything and everything your thrifty heart could desire.

The Resale Shop

For more than 20 years, the Resale Shop has offered gently used clothing and home goods, with all proceeds supporting the Center for Transforming Lives in its mission to help single mothers and their children thrive. Additionally, participants in the Center’s programs receive “Resale Bucks” to help clothe their families and make a home for them at no cost.

Clothes Mentor

Clothes Mentor is committed to reducing fashion waste while providing women with trendy, stylish clothing. With sizes 0 to 26, Clothing Mentor ensures most women can find the perfect outfit at an affordable price. And when you sell your pre-loved clothing at Clothes Mentor, you get cash for a new outfit on the spot. It’s all part of what Clothes Mentor calls “cyclical fashion” – sustainable, fashion-forward, and affordable.

Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County

When a person arrives at Union Gospel Mission (UGM), they usually only have the clothes on their back. By donating your family’s gently used clothing, you are providing more than a pair of jeans or shoes. You’re providing a child with a school uniform. You’re providing a person with an outfit for a job interview. You’re giving a person a bit of their humanity back.

Flipstone Vintage & Thrift

Owners and sisters Dancing and Lily are seasoned thrifters, and they wanted to use their expertise to create a thrift boutique that combines the best of thrift shops’ selections and prices with vintage boutiques’ curated offerings. And thus, Flipstone was born. The sisters also travel throughout North Texas, compiling a guide of thrift stores to help people shop sustainably. Flipstone is an indigenous- and woman-owned small business.

Prom Dreams Boutique

How many little children dream of prom? But prom dresses are expensive, and not every family can afford one. Prom Dreams Boutique at University Christian Church allows students to find the prom, Homecoming, or formal dress of their dreams, complete with shoes and accessories. If you have pre-loved formal dresses and accessories, you can help a student’s dreams come true!

Thrift Giant

Are you a hardcore thrifter? You NEED to check out Thrift Giant. A DFW chain, Thrift Giant boasts the most extensive thrift inventory in the Metroplex, daily sales, and a handy app to help you with your thrifting. They accept donations, and they use their profits to support local nonprofits. Big sales, an enormous inventory, and they support local nonprofits? See you there!

Community Crossroads

Community Crossroads is First Presbyterian Church Fort Worth’s outreach ministry located in the Near Southside. As well as offering free food and sack lunches, pet food, diapers, and formula, and a free dental clinic, Community Crossroads is proud to offer its Clothed in Love ministry that distributes clothing and blankets to those in need without judgment and with love.

Uptown Cheapskate

If you’re a thrifter who loves finding a bargain on premium brands, check out Uptown Cheapskate. With a focus on designer brands, you can find amazing pieces at incredible prices, ensuring that you’re always on trend. Bring your clean, gently-loved clothes in and get a new outfit before the store’s buyers make you an offer. Uptown Cheapskate will donate items they didn’t buy, so you don’t have to bring them home.

Love and Light Ministries

Love and Light Ministries works with the unhoused in Fort Worth, helping them “from camp to a home.” As part of their outreach in the homeless community, Love and Light donates approximately 150 items of clothing each month. You can be sure that your donations are needed and will be appreciated by people in need.

Family Thrift Center

Another thrifting supercenter, Family Thrift Center offers gently-used clothes, toys, books, and household essentials at incredibly reduced prices. With a user-friendly app and a loyalty rewards program that allows you to save even more, Family Thrift Center is your one-stop thrifting shop.

Chosen Ones Community Closet

Families who foster and adopt are special, and they sometimes need special help. Chosen Ones is a ministry that supports fostering and adopting families, offering counseling, help navigating bureaucratic mazes or finding a pediatrician, or clothing and diapers when a placement occurs more quickly than anticipated. The Community Closet provides food, clothing, baby equipment, toys, and necessities like diapers and formula so that families can focus on what’s important – giving love and support to a child who needs it.

The Mercantile

You can’t have a list of places for thrifting without mentioning The Mercantile. Founded by Fort Worth businessman Holt Hickman, The Mercantile has over 200 carefully curated dealer booths offering everything from antiques to fashion. The best part? After you’ve found your treasures from multiple dealers, there’s a central checkout process that streamlines your thrifting experience. Great deals, a curated selection of dealers, and an easy checkout? Score!

ReStore by Trinity Habitat for Humanity

While it might not be your traditional thrift store, ReStore needs to be on your list, especially if you’re a do-it-yourselfer. You can find building materials, furniture, and even appliances at the four locations of the Trinity Habitat ReStores. And if you have leftover building supplies, furniture/or appliances that need a new home, ReStore runs on donations. By shopping or donating, you’re helping families come home.

Vintage Martini

If you’re into vintage clothing, you need to make the drive to Dallas. Vintage Martini was founded by a costume designer who loved and collected vintage clothing. Need a dress from the 1920s? No problem. Want a Christian Dior dress from 1961? They’ve got it. And they carry contemporary pieces from design houses like Mandalay, Versace, and Fendi. They offer consignment services, too. Now if only they would move to the cool side of the Metroplex!

Clotheshorse Anonymous

I have a confession. I grew up in Dallas. I know, I know. But I grew up hearing about Clotheshorse Anonymous, and believe it, it lives up to the hype. Since 1974, those in the know have found incredible buys on luxury brands. In fact. Clotheshorse Anonymous is Dallas’s oldest luxury consignment shop. As part of their services, they offer brand authentication; you know you’re getting the real deal.

Clothes Circuit Upsale Resale

Another Dallas classic, Clothes Circuit is a luxury resale shop that offers a drop-in-and-donate service for busy Dallasites, in addition to more traditional luxury consignment services. Their donations are your gains because you can find incredible deals on hundreds (yes, hundreds) of designer brands, and you can shop, knowing that each piece has been authenticated. Trust me, it’s worth the drive!

Second Glance Thrift Shop

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for middle- to high-end clothing, furniture, kitchen accessories and appliances, plus games, books, and other media, you don’t need to take a second glance. Profits from Second Glance support CEC (Community Enrichment Center) and its ministry among the unhoused people of our community. They also accept clean pre-loved donations, and seniors and veterans always receive 10% off their total purchase each Tuesday.

Angels’ Attic Upscale Resale

What began as a series of garage sales to help the hurting and the hungry, Angels’ Attic Upscale Resale is now a thriving resale shop filled with fabulous finds. Whether you’re looking for gently used clothing, furniture, or accessories, Angels’ Attic is the place to shop. An outreach ministry of White’s Chapel Methodist Church in Southlake, proceeds from Angels’ Attic go to support nonprofits and ministries around the world.

Christ’s Haven Resale Shop

Christ’s Haven for Children offers trauma-informed, family-modeled care for displaced children and teens in a neighborhood of homes in north Fort Worth. The families who love and care for these children need clothing, furniture, baby goods, and more. Any donated items that are not used are sold in the Resale Shop, with proceeds going directly back to the program.

Seven Boutique

Do you love designer goods but not designer prices? Seven Boutique offers pre-loved luxury items from top designers at bargain basement prices. Looking for a pair of Louboutins? They have them. A Louis Vuitton handbag? No problem. What color would you like? From Alexander McQueen to Zimmerman, Seven Boutique has you covered.

Kiss It Good Buy

Furnishing a house is expensive, especially if you want something other than do-it-yourself, laminate-covered items from a big box store. Kiss It Good Buy, located in Grapevine’s historic downtown, offers an eclectic assortment of gently pre-loved and unique home furnishings, décor, and accessories. So rent a trailer and head up to Grapevine – you’ll be glad you did!

Furniture Consignment Gallery

What do you do when you have a beautiful couch or antique armoire that you don’t have room for in your home? Or where do you go to find quality furniture at prices you can actually afford? Furniture Consignment Gallery, of course! Whether you need to furnish a room or you want to get rid of some beautiful pieces that you don’t need anymore, Furniture Design Gallery is ready to help. As their website says, “We all love affordable luxury.”

The Mattress Factory
A Fort Worth Original Since 1896! Harry Keeton, Sr., began selling mattress supplies in Fort Worth, Texas, back in 1896. Little did he know that this was the beginning of what was later to become the fastest growing chain of factory direct sleep stores. His two sons, Harry and Frank took over the business and expanded into Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California; shipping furniture and mattress supplies all over the world. Four generations later, Peter Duncan, Jr., realized that there was a need for Factory Direct Marketing and began selling his products directly to the consumer at wholesale prices. This concept has spread like wildfire. Public acceptance has been overwhelming. This great demand has caused the Mattress Factory to become a leader in the industry. Our production exceeds 10000 pieces manufactured each year. Our buying power, along with the "no middleman" concept give maximum savings, which are passed along to the customer... you! When you purchase from the Original Mattress Factory you save 50% off the purchase price at a retail store.
