Why pay retail prices for everyday purchases when you can shop at OppShop, a local thrift store near Tuckerton, PA? Not only do we offer an array of quality goods in excellent condition at extremely low prices, but we also operate on behalf of the mission of Opportunity House and provide a valuable reuse/recycle service that rescues goods that would otherwise find their way to the landfill.
OppShop Serves Opportunity House
OppShop is a thrift store location that furthers the work of Opportunity House. Any “profits” from reselling donated goods go directly to Opportunity House’s work. Since 1984, Opportunity House has provided shelter for the homeless community of Berks County. We offer 24/7 emergency shelter, supportive services, access to daily essentials, and transitional and permanent housing units.
Donations of Merchandise to OppShop Thrift Store
Merchandise in good condition from various product categories is resold at OppShop to benefit individuals in the community and the mission of Opportunity House. If you’d like to donate to OppShop, we take donations behind the store on 5th Street in Reading; we’ll come to your home to pick up large pieces of furniture by appointment, or you can stop at one of the donation bins at any of the following locations:

If you use these drop-off donation bins, ensure your items fit within a grocery-sized bag. Full-sized trash bags will not fit within the containers, and we request that you leave the area around the bin free of debris. All items need to be placed within the bins, not outside. Things that can go within the containers include clothing, books, shoes, and media encased in the original cases.
OppShop Donations – Acceptable versus Unacceptable Items
OppShop can’t, unfortunately, accept all donations. The items need to be functional, clean, and undamaged. We regularly accept and sell clothing of all sizes and genders; media items like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs; kitchen items including dishes, utensils, cutlery, cookware, and small appliances; holiday decor and housewares; furniture; accessories like shoes, bags, hats, scarves, and jewelry; flatscreen TVs; and toys.
Other items like chemicals, outdated electronics, building supplies, unsafe furnishings, carpets, and tires can’t be sold at our thrift store. They will divert essential resources away from the work of Opportunity House. We don’t accept these donations.
