Our Des Moines thrift store has a wide variety of items, cycling thousands of new goods onto the large sales floor nearly every day. There is always something new to find at the DAV. Plus, while we are always updating our available inventory; we rarely throw old items away. Items that do not sell are often repurposed or recycled, benefitting both the community and the environment.
