Treasure Chest Thrift Store (CMHA, Vancouver-Fraser Branch)

Love this little thrift store! I discovered it about a year ago when I moved to New West. I drop off donations and do a quick browse around pretty much weekly. Have found lots of household items, childrens toys, the odd book and always seasonal items such as Halloween and Christmas items. Friendly staff, great prices ! I love supporting this shop as proceeds go toward great programs to support mental health. Highly recommended!

Im honestly wonder if everyone is as rude and mean as the women who answered my phone call (i wish I knew her name) I called to ask if i can come by and drop off some donations and she said she was closed, I asked if i could leave it somewhere else and her answer was: “if you want to make some mess, sure” seriously no wonder why people complain about their customer service… really sucks when you just want to help others in need of stuff you dont longer used, but staff being so rude kinda disappoint to even think of giving it away to them

Have found a few great items here. I donate household items here frequently and they are always willing to accept donations and often express their thanks, not that it is needed. I disagree with Diane's review that they have a greedy mentality" for wanting to try selling things online to raise more money. It's a charity

I used to love going here - but there seems to be new management. The selection has gotten much worse recently. And everytime I consider buying something I look at the price and change my mind. When I was in there I heard them talking about selling items online so they could get more money for it. For a store fully running on donations I don't appreciate that greedy mentality. It's quite a small store but everytime there's this one lady who always seems to be getting in the way.. not hospitable at all. They should definitely change there name because the concept of finding treasure is just not there.

I will provide a somewhat biased review because I had the privilege of taking a course at CMHA (funded by the government during the pandemic) and benefitted greatly. So I try to stop by every now and then.Firstly, it's great that they open 7 days a week! I find most thrift stores close on Sundays (and Mondays when I can make it!) Those are the days when I can shop so hours are a definite plus. I write a lot of cards for the Angel card project & Random Acts of Cardness so it can get very costly with stamps. I'm always thrilled when I stumble upon nice cards here. They're very reasonably priced and I can write heartfelt cards without breaking the bank.Thank you for allowing me to uplift and help others through purchases at your store ☺️

I have been here a couple of times and found 1 or 2 good items but nothing very special. The thrift store is pretty small and packed. Not very organized. Most of the cloths look very outdated. The staff there are not friendly at all. They only talk to you if you buy something and you say Thank you" first. Not even a smile."

Excellent service, selection and staff. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for casual, work or night out clothes at reasonable prices. Manager is easy to talk to and knowledgable about what store has and doesn't have. If you wanna donate quality items they also take donations with funds going to important services in New Westminster.Gr8 job Treasure Chest!

Discusting customer service 2 visits in a row now. Me and partner went there last weekend and got an item of clothing which was outside on the $1 rail, when we go to pay the younger cashier charges us more saying that we are wrong and that item wasn't meant to be out there! How cheap lol literally a 3 dollar difference and you should be checking your stock anyway. Always such bad attitudes in there you should be ashamed of yourselves

I love this thrift store! The prices are amazing. The selection of books is great, with some selection of classic titles that are hard to find elsewhere. I even found vintage manga there on my last visit! There are a ton of useful household items as well at very reasonable prices. I picked up knitting needles for pennies on the dollar for what walmart charges and better quality. I don't have any complaints. The staff are really nice here too!
