Opportunity Shop

About Our Op Shop

St. Alban’s Opportunity Shop thrift store has offered quality goods at reasonable prices since 1955.  It is St. Alban’s Church’s oldest outreach program, and is staffed by volunteers who enjoy helping people find what they need. 

The Op Shop is managed by the Workers of St. Alban’s (WSA), and the funds it brings in support programs that directly assist people in need in our community and beyond.
