It’s time for our BIG Clothing Sale at the Catholic Charities Thrift Store! Come stock up on great finds and help support your neighbors in need — because every purchase makes a difference.

The Thrift Store Blowout Clothing Sale runs October 28 through November 7, 2025 at 808 W. Broadway, Fulton, NY, with all adult clothing just 50¢ and all kids’ clothing 25¢. The sale will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2–6 PM and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 AM–2 PM.

All proceeds from our thrift store go directly toward funding our Food Pantry, which continues to see more families each week. As food insecurity rises in our community, your support — whether you shop, donate, or share — helps us keep shelves stocked and meals on local tables.
