The Yolo County SPCA Thrift Store is one of three thrift stores in Davis, and operates on paid and volunteer labor. It is the primary source of funding for the Yolo County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They accept donations seven days a week and offer a wide selection of clothing, accessories, household goods, electronics, furniture and music and movies.

They accept donations seven days a week, 10:00am to 4:00pm, however they cannot accept any broken or unusable items, or sporting goods, bed frames, mattresses, and large appliances such washers, dryers, refrigerators or similar items as well Large TVs (27 inches or bigger). If you are unable to get to thrift store within donation hours then you may make an appointment by calling and setting up a time with a Manager on Duty.

Donations have dangerously slowed down here at the Thrift so Please come by and Donate anything you may have sitting around that you don't use anymore, Your Trash may be someone's treasures! They currently need gently used electronics and household items, quality clothing and jewelery, Kids items that are in good shape, new packaged Items, clothing with tags and antiques/ collectibles. Also while bringing us your donations ask your neighbor if they have anything that needs donating. Help support your local animals and your local SPCA!

Some Folks have been asking lately: Where do our donations go? While the majority of donations get priced and make their way onto our shelves and racks, a small percentage get donated back into other parts of the community for example: Salvation army readily takes Items that we may have too much of or is something we are unable to sell, Pacifico Student housing can thank the SPCA for their generous donation of plates and dishes last summer, Families First, a Group home for young boys is eager to receive SPCA donations when we have an excess in household items and sporting goods. Also with Clothing Items that have been too loved to sell we bag them up and sell them to clothing recyclers, so even if you don't see that pair of jeans or other items in the store, that it is still helping to make money for the animals.

They often have sales throughout the month. Some past sales have been: Post-Holiday 1/2 off in January, Romance Book Sale for February, Buy One, Get One Free with Purses.

We have some great name brand stuff like Burberry, BCBG, Juicy, Seven Jeans, Lucky Brand jeans, Vera Bradley, Coach and some wonderful vintage stuff!

The Yolo County SPCA Thrift Store loves to give back to the community that gives to them! They work closely with the City's Public Works Department in a constant effort to reduce, reuse and recycle. Unsellable (but still usable) household goods, sleeping bags, tents and even perishables such as food are taken to Davis Community Meals. They recycle ALL unsellable clothing, shoes, purses, backpacks, and belts to others who need them. Puzzles, games and school supplies are given to schools, youth groups and senior centers. In addition to this, they often support the efforts of other organizations, and have donated books to the Co-op, the library and other animal rescue groups. Tools and garden equipment have supported the efforts of the Persian Cat Rescue program and the Salvation Army truck is a frequent visitor!

More of the book section. Part of the shoe section plus the specialty section behind the counter. The perpetually plentiful belt and scarf section. The very abundant purse/bag/wallet section plus the linens section. The shoe section. The ever-fun and diverse toy section.

2008-02-14 22:56:16   I read in the paper that the thrift store had been burglarized a couple of weeks ago. The crooks smashed a window in order to steal jewelry. It's a shame that happens at all, but it's even worse when it's done to a non-profit organization that helps helpless creatures. —DukeMcAdow

2008-02-15 20:58:13   I was just in today, so sad that people broke in. The damage done to the unused side door and display case outweighed what they stole by leaps and bounds (they smashed a jewelry case that was unlocked). In addition to the donation box, they have a store restoration jar by the register. —JaniceGutshall

2008-02-19 09:53:09   GrumpyoldGeek stop being so cynical, these people are mostly volunteers thats not something a volunteer would do, perhaps their inventory was full and sent it to a sister store or perhaps it sold almost immediatly, i mean this place does get a ton of traffic every day. goddamn why even donate if your going to take that attitude afterwords, be content with your own actions and stop judging others and assuming the worst. —piratechef

2008-02-19 10:03:27   this is a great thrift store, if youre looking for customer service or perfect displays go to arden, if you understand what thrift stores are all about and like them this is one of the best. i just dont understand all of these angry customers, if i ever saw any of you giving their employees a hard time like you do on here id probably interevene with my fists because they are doing a great service to the community and to the spca. Keep up the good work guys and the rest of you, i hope you burn. —piratechef

2008-04-14 20:27:20   I always thought this place was nifty despite never actually shopping here (to be honest, I never really shop anywhere), but since I finally got out of the financial hole, I figured it'd be a place I'd venture to now. So I ended up coming to this page and was shocked at all the controversy. Seems like a lot of people getting upset over nothing. I don't get why people like to complain about a place when they could easily just stop going there. Its not a retail store, so this whole idea of customer service really needs to be looked at differently. I mean, what are they being compared to? Longs? Target? Walmart? —SunjeetBaadkar

2008-04-15 22:33:53   This whole argument seems insane to me. This store is a non-profit. The employees are volunteers. As for Davis attitude and hippies...move to LA if you don't like it. GEEZ. Reading all this bs makes me not even want to go into the thrift store. Haven't seen a circle jerk like this since Berkeley. —unipeg39

2008-06-22 10:50:33   I was just told that they're drastically scaling down the toy section (replaced with a new shoe section, which I must say, is very nicely displayed). But my kids had really enjoyed the toy section while I "tried" to shop around, so that would make me less able to come back (without the toys to keep them occupied!!) They said it was "too messy" and the toys don't sell very well (of course, there were many junks in the toy section that they shouldn't even have try to sell them. But I've found many nice toys there myself for 10 times less new). —youkai

2008-07-28 17:01:30   I love this little thrift shop. I was there just the other day and found a good sized picnic basket for $2. I also discovered it's a great place to find pretty wine glasses for a decent price. Their used furniture pieces look a bit worn down but most are at considerably low prices as well. —thai

2008-09-16 09:56:18   Is the drop off hours 2PM or 3? I thought I saw 3PM on the sign —calvinz

2009-02-15 04:43:27   This place is craaaaazy but the people were helpful. —GregWebb

2009-04-06 12:23:52   I once dropped something off @ 7 or 8 PM. I don't remember the exact time, only that it was getting dark in late winter. —MasonMurray

2009-04-13 18:23:57   nice little store and good prices —Churro615

2009-04-23 19:54:20   This is a cute little thrift store with generally good prices. The selection of dishes, kitchenware and knickknacks is second to none - but I have never had much luck in the clothing section. —Beconomics

2009-06-21 02:24:04   Love this store - but lately have seen more people in there, maybe because of the economy? —val

2009-08-24 17:15:50   Love the store, people working there is awesome. I have seen lots of movement last days. Only wish they improved jewelry display on days when jewelry is on sale and put all plain t-shirts into bins and left more space for the really cute items on the racks. Great store. —Maga
