Plains Thrift Store

The Plains Thrift Store is the larger of the two thrift stores and LBSI’s flagship business. The Plains Thrift Store is located at 103 West Lynch with a new location coming soon at 104 West Railroad. The thrift is a great place to find what you need or something you didn’t know you needed!

How to Donate

Donations of clean, unbroken items are gladly accepted during the hours of 9am-5pm, Monday-Saturday in the back of the store. We are glad to help unload or for a nominal fee, we will come and pick up your donations. For larger items, such as furniture, TV’s, fridges and stoves, please call prior to donating.
If you are unable to make it during the hours of operations, there are bins located in the alley for your donating convenience.

How Donations are used:

Donations to the Plains Thrift Store are tax deductible, please feel free to ask for a receipt when you drop off your items. The donations are processed and sold in the store to provide paid work for the individuals that LBSI serves. There is a process to rotate the older items out of the store. The “pulls” are cut into rags and cut buttons. Stored for the season ( i.e. Christmas, Halloween, etc… ). This business is also a great way to help the community stretch their budgets.
The Little Bitterroot Thrifts also helps community members across Sanders County when Crisis happens in their families such as losing homes due to fire. We have helped people who endured Hurricane Katrina, needy families who do not have money for children’s clothing, and homeless people who may need a coat, boots etc. Over the years LBSI stores also has accommodated community members who have community service to complete, as well as traumatic brain injury persons to provide them with valuable on the job training.
