Help Our Cause

Lil’s Thrift Shop is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to raising funds in support of animal welfare and abuse prevention programs in Rutherford County, NC. 

The inventory sold at Lil’s is donated through the generosity of our supporters. Additional funding comes from the generous financial contributions of donors and sponsors. Staffing is provided by volunteers.  This allows nearly 100% of proceeds from the sale of our gently used Items to provide direct financial support to nonprofit partners whose services include fostering animals, meeting the medical needs of animals of qualifying families, spay and neuter programs, providing food and other items for no-kill shelters, and much more.   

Proximity to Lake Lure and the surrounding neighborhoods that include year-round living, resort living, vacation homes, summer rentals and more provides access to donated inventory that is constantly changing. You never know what treasures you may find at Lil’s, but can be sure to find items that are eclectic, interesting and run the gamut from antique, to vintage, to mid century furniture pieces and every kind of decor and houseware imaginable. Shopping at Lil’s is always an adventure, and the best part is knowing you will walk away with something you love while supporting a very worthy and needed cause.
