PCSBA

A thrift store run as a mission ministry, Pacific Thrift Store in North Highlands belongs to the Pacific Coast Slavic Baptist Association (PCSBA), a fellowship of Slavic evangelical churches serving across the West since 1928. The association's mission department started the store to build a fund for missionary work, following the example of American churches and Christian organizations that run thrift shops to raise money. The association bought the store's building instead of renting one.

Donations stock the store, which accepts furniture, electronics, clothing, children's toys, kitchen utensils and other goods. Its sales give the association's missionaries a reliable source of support. Volunteers are welcome to help sort donated items, and the store runs alongside the association's music, prison and education ministries.
