Thrift Stores

Along with the faithful generosity of many, our ministry helps sustain itselt through our three thrift stores: The Good Shepherd Thrift Store, St. Martin of Tours Thrift Store and St. Frances & St. Clare Thrift Store.

These hubs of activity provide an incredible opportunity to strenghten the neighborhoods where they exist, provide for the needs of our shoppers and allow us to provide for those who have no other means of availing themselves of clothing, household items, and just as important, camarderie and friendship.

For those who cannot afford to purchase items, such as victims of arson or floods, and for those who are making the transition from homelessness, items are provided free of charge.

Items that are donated must be in good, working condition and may be dropped off at anyone of our thrift store locations Monday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. (excluding holidays).

For items that must be picked up, please call Micki LeBlanc, Thrift Stores Coordinator, at 978-686-0441 to arrange details.

Lazarus House Ministries is happy to accept the following donations:

  • Appliances
  • *Baby Clothing & Toys
  • Clothing
  • Dishes
  • Furniture
  • Office Equipment
  • Rugs
    *Please note due to liability issues, we are not allowed to accept baby furniture, including car seats.

    Food & Paper Product donations may be dropped off at the Lazarus House Shelter, 48 Holly Street in Lawrence. The shelter is open 24/7.
