Great staff, great selection of clothing and goods in excellent condition, great prices. All in support of giving a second chance to young people in our community. Worth the visit.

Even though we've moved to Vancouver Island, LIFE's Second Chance remains a cherished place for us. We used to frequent it during our time in Abbotsford, and we still make a point to drop in whenever we're in the area. During our recent visit, we struck gold once again! My daughter discovered a stylish black jacket for just a dollar, my eldest son found some great clothing, and my youngest son stocked up on comics for our upcoming road trip. The people behind the counter were friendly and welcoming, making our visit even more enjoyable. We left with smiles on our faces, grateful for this fantastic thrift shop and the treasures it always offers.

Best thrift store in Abby... to shop in and to donate to. Always so appreciative when receiving donations and always friendly and helpful when shopping.

It used to be one of my favourite shrift stores when my kids were little; however, yesterday, my mom and I brought my 7-year-old granddaughter with us shrift shopping. Now please understand I'm not the typical 'grandma' I am still young enough to be able to pass as my granddaughters mom.The lady who was doing cash, was sweet to my mom, very friendly, polite and interacted great with my mom; however, when it came to serving me, her demeanor shifted to a cold, stand off-ish kind of service. By no means did I look like a 'hood rat' either, my makeup was done, my attire was a cute trendy outfit that even 2 of my daughter's would be proud to be seen with me in public; however, the moment she heard my granddaughter call me 'grandma' when we asked to use the washroom, is when this older ladies attitude changed.Granted, I'm 43 with a butterfly shaved into the back of my head, I have 2 lip piercings on the one side, a small 'heart' tattooed under my left eye and I have 2 full arm sleeves ~ I didn't realize my appearance affected my ability to be a good grandma for one and two, made me any less of a person to deserve proper service.On the up side, the other lady who pointed my granddaughter and I to the wasroom was very polite and helpful! Their selection for my younger grandsons was not the greatest; however, they did have a lot of inventory that I unfortunately did not have the time nor the desire really to stay any longer where I knew I was being judge for my lacking in the usual stereotypical 'grandma look'. I personally don't care, I don't dress to impress the world; however, my 7 year old granddaughter is quite aware of things and I did not want her to see how rude people can be, if you honour yourself and your uniqueness because I encourage her to be her no matter how unique she wants to be. Because clearly society still has the 'old fashioned' mentality of when I was growing up.

I love the fact they've opened a 2nd thrift store in downtown Abby on W. Railway & George Ferguson Way. Thrifters will recognize the location but a whole new store. 'Thrift for Life' is the name & it is lovely inside. Check it out!

Great selection from lighting,kitchen ware. Awesome verity of adult and children's foot wear and clothing. They put the clothes with whatever color ticket is on sale on racks near the window. Plus they have a small room where all clothes are all just a dollar each.
