At Birch Foundation, we believe in the strength of community and the power of compassion. Life isn’t always easy, and everyone deserves a helping hand when times are tough. That’s why we’re proud to launch the Free Thursday Giveback Initiative—a weekly program designed to support those in need with kindness, respect, and no strings attached.
With a mission to uplift and create meaningful connections, this initiative is at the heart of our commitment to serve.
No judgment, just love. Whether you’re browsing our racks or taking a moment to sip on a warm drink, we hope this initiative offers a little relief and a lot of hope.
Each Thursday, our Op Shop welcomes individuals facing financial hardships or personal challenges to shop for free with a $30 store credit from 11 AM to 1 PM. Not only can you shop for essentials, but you’ll also receive a $5 drink voucher to enjoy a coffee at our café. Whether you need clothing, household items, or just a moment to relax, we’re here to support you.
There’s no need for judgment or embarrassment—just compassion and care. All you need to do is fill out a simple form, either online ahead of time using the intake form located at the bottom of this page, or upon arrival at our Op Shop.
Our mission is to give back to the community, especially those who need it most. We know that life can be difficult, and we want to help alleviate some of the stress people face. Whether you're struggling financially or just going through a tough time, we’re here to offer a helping hand. We hope to create a space where no one feels alone or unsupported, and where people can access the resources they need with dignity and respect.
