For the past 10 years the Raphael HouseThrift Store has become an essential resource for our shelter residents who often arrive with only the clothes they are wearing. Families visit the stores with a case worker to select everything from donated clothing, shoes, and books to household items. Even after departure from the shelter, The Thrift Store continues to be a source for families and members of the Raphael House community. The Raphael House Thrift Store is open to the public five days a week. (Tues-Sat 10 AM to 5 PM). All of the proceeds from the Thrift store go to support theRaphael House programs.

The Raphael House Thrift Store serves the community of downtown San Francisco by, providing quality goods at bargain prices within a unique environment of excellent customer service and a family atmosphere.
