A charity shop is a retail store that sells donated items to raise funds for a specific charitable organization. These shops typically offer a variety of second-hand goods, including clothing, books, toys, and household items. The profits generated from sales are used to support various charitable activities, such as community programs, medical research, or disaster relief. Volunteers often run charity shops, helping to sort donations, manage the store, and assist customers. Shopping at a charity shop not only provides affordable options for buyers but also promotes sustainability by giving pre-owned items a new life, reducing waste, and supporting local communities.
