charity shop
Secondhand goods outlet
A charity shop is a retail store selling donated secondhand goods, with proceeds supporting a charitable organization.
Common in Britain and other Commonwealth countries, these shops offer used clothing, books, housewares, and furniture at low prices: I found a vintage coat at the charity shop for five pounds.
The American equivalent is thrift store.
