Richmond, Virginia
LGBTQ+ community thrift store supporting local queer organizations
Diversity Thrift is the nonprofit resale store and fundraising arm of Diversity Richmond, the city's longtime LGBTQ+ organization (formerly the Gay Community Center of Richmond). Set in a large space near the Carver neighborhood, it sells donated furniture, clothing, books, records, kitchenware, and art, with a gallery area that rotates local work and the occasional vintage find on the floor. What sets it apart from an ordinary thrift store is where the money goes: proceeds fund grants to local nonprofits, and the operation has channeled more than a million dollars back into the community over its run. For shoppers, that means a deep, ever-changing inventory at thrift prices; for Richmond's queer community, it's a piece of infrastructure that happens to look like a furniture floor. Worth a stop for treasure-hunters and anyone who'd rather their secondhand dollars stay close to home.
