Still Fabulous charity thrift stores opened 2004 with our first location, on-site at the BC Children’s Hospital. The store was conceived as a way to re-sell good quality, used children’s, women’s and men’s clothing and raise funds for the BC Children’s and BC Women’s Hospital. Today, Still Fabulous is operated Auxiliaries to the BC Children’s and BC Women’s Hospitals, with two locations in Vancouver – a large storefront at 4355 Main Street in the heart of the Little Mountain neighbourhood, and a boutique-style store located at 1124 Commercial Drive.
Our stores are successful thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and our generous partners. One of those partners is Courtney Watkins, owner of Mine & Yours Luxury Resale. Each season, Courtney provides us with good-quality, superfluous stock that we can sell to raise funds for the hospital. Whatever we cannot sell in the store is resold to a textile recycling organization, still raising funds for our cause.
Proceeds from Still Fabulous support programs and services at the BC Children’s and Women’s Hospitals such as the Family Support Centre, ChildLife Centre, the Fun Cart and the Sibling Daycare project (currently under construction).
Still Fabulous is grateful for its partnership with Mine and Yours, and their donation of high-quality product for our thrift stores. We are also thankful that Courtney is helping raise awareness for BC Children’s and Women’s Hospitals, by letting her customers know about Still Fabulous and the work we do.
Still Fabulous is a thrift shop operated by the volunteers of the Auxiliary to BC Children’s Hospital and the Auxiliary to BC Women’s Hospital, designed to raise funds for patient support services, programs, and equipment.
