What is the Second Mile Thrift Shop?

​​Created in 1986 by First Congregational Church UCC of Berea, and since 2015 became a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization, the CSM Second Mile Shop sells donated furniture, appliances, household items, sporting goods, and clothing at reasonable prices.

The store also serves as a warehouse for goods-in-waiting to be delivered at no charge to people in need, including veterans in transition. For a small fee, an entire room full of furniture can be supplied.

Volunteers from many churches and civic organizations from Berea and the surrounding communities assist in operating the store.  Community service appointees from the courts help to fully staff the shop.  The shop also redistributes appliances, furniture, and bags of clothing to families in need, centers, and shelters throughout Cuyahoga County.
