100% of profits support BBBSO

Every $85 raised at Thrive Select Thrift supports a youth mentorship match for a month.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO) is proud to present Thrive Select Thrift!

We’re a boutique thrift store providing gently used clothing, accessories and household items that are high-quality and affordable. The impact of empowering youth is undeniable and now thrifting our curated selections means you can be part of that.

#DoGoodDressWell

As both a retail outlet and community hub in Ottawa, Thrive Select Thrift will support BBBSO’s mission to offer programming for children and youth. Including opportunities for mentees ages 15 to 24 to develop important life skills, gain real work experience, build their confidence and begin thinking about their educational and career plans.
