The Help Association Thrift Store

Was so thrilled with my experience here. Great prices and a friendly all volunteer staff. I wish it was closer to my house!

Amazing prices, you'd think its black fridy every day here and very nice & caring employees that are very helpful without being down your throat or too nosey. Only down side is you need cash, but that's not really a bad thing, just make sure you bring some when you go, I was luckily able to scrounge up change from my car and got a shirt & a dog pillow for only $1 total.

Help Assn is a community gem. 100% volunteer and money goes back to community in the form of grants. Prices are super good. They have sales almost daily. Great selection of things. Great place to donate items too!

Excellent prices, rarely crowded, great selection, all sizes. The women who work here are friendly and helpful and they are volunteers I believe!

This is the most amazing hidden gem in Calvert County. A very well curated thrift shop, with kind and devoted volunteers staffing it. Our kids adore the book section, my father-in-law raids their audio books, and my husband scopes out cooking and baking equipment. Something for everyone!

Very nice and helpful employees, has a lot of good stuff

an absolute GEM for treasures in the area! it’s clean, organized & the prices can’t be beat. they’ve got just about anything & everything you could think of (minus furniture because the space is a little too small for it unfortunately)

I really like that they give back to the community with the profits & that everyone who works there is a volunteer! they’re looking for more too in case you see this & are interested.

FYI — cash only :-)

My parents volunteered here for a bit. The charity is doing a great service for the community, and I've also found some pretty neat things. (However, sometimes, the volunteers will engage in more drama I thought respectable adults were capable of.)

This place is a hidden gem! They have quality, clean items and you can’t beat the prices! And to top it all off they are a nonprofit so everyone who work there is a volunteer and almost all of the money they make gets donated back into the local community! Absolutely love this place!

Congratulations to all that love this store on the Reopening!!! 😀💐🌹❤👏 Great bargains, friendly staff (all volunteers mind you), old building but fairly clean & organized. If you like thrift store shopping you’ll appreciate it for what it is & then some. For me it’s my first go-to when wanting something unique. You never know what you’ll find there, respectfully. I love the community feel, the quaintness, always seeing someone you know, strangers are even friendly in this store & having proceeds go towards helping my neighbors. My aunt & I call it “The Mall”!! It’s been there as long as I can remember & has only changed for the better. Best of society at work across the board in Calvert.

I only go on Tuesdays and Thursdays usually! The staff is the best ever. However..the Wednesday staff is the unfrienliest and rudest I've encountered in many years! Cudos to the staff that makes me, my family and friends welcome! Keep up the good work!🌟

I absolutely love this little hidden gem!
Everyone is soooo nice and polite you get that hometown charm! Love love love it!

When I visited the place some of the employees where extremely rude. They where to busy rummaging thru the new things putting them to the side for themselves. One lady gave me a price for containers and the next day another employee upped the price. She was so so rude. I did not like the way I was ignored when I needed help.

Fun to find a place we can get nice stuff for less.

Great prices and great finds

Friendly, small store. Staffed with volunteers.
The items are clean, and priced fairly.

The new changes are great. Please help this association to stay a great resource for the community.

Excellent place to donate & shop!

The people there are very friendly.

Very much more reasonable regarding donations than any of the other charities in the area
