Y-Thrift, formerly known as Our Sisters’ Closet, was established in April 2007, inspired by the vision of former YWCA OKC President & CEO, Jan Peery. Her dream was to create a sustainable source of additional income to support YWCA OKC's essential services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault,and stalking.
Y-Thrift operates as a resale shop open to the public, welcoming onsite donations. The shop is committed to providing exceptional customer service, empowering YWCA clients, offering stylish and affordable fashion, and fostering strong connections with its customers. Shoppers also gain valuable insights into the YWCA’s mission and services.
In addition to its community focus, Y-Thrift promotes sustainability by recycling items that do not meet quality standards, diverting approximately four tons of unusable merchandise from landfills each month.
Every purchase made at Y-Thrift directly supports individuals escaping violence, making a tangible difference in their lives. The shop has also heightened community awareness about YWCA services and provided lifesaving resources to many clients who have visited.
Support a local, lifesaving organization by shopping at Y-Thrift for your clothing and household needs—and help make a difference!
