FAQs

What is SUPPLY Victoria Creative Reuse Centre?
SUPPLY is a not-for-profit organization operating a thrift store for arts, craft, and office supplies, provides workshops and other community building opportunities, and offers an option for landfill diversion for arts materials to Victoria residents.

Where is SUPPLY?
Our storefront is located at 707 Douglas Street in Victoria, BC, Canada: sandwiched between the Old Spaghetti Factory and NeighbourSpace in the Crystal Gardens space.

Can anyone visit SUPPLY?
Yes! SUPPLY is a welcoming community space that you are welcome to visit anytime during shop hours (Thurs & Fri 12-6, Sat 11-6, Sun 12-4). We expect all community members to treat each other and the space with respect and in alignment with our JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) values; anyone behaving otherwise will be asked to leave.

Can I donate materials to SUPPLY?
Yes! General material donations are accepted on Saturdays between 11 am and 1 pm. High priority items are accepted at any time during store hours at staff discretion. Read our Material Donations Acceptance Guidelines for more information!

How does your compassionate retail model work?
We have recently introduced a new pricing model designed to streamline shopping at SUPPLY and enable generalized Pay What You Can (PWYC) pricing! Almost everything in the store now fits into one of three price tiers (Pink: $0.25-2.50, Green: $3.00-9.00, Blue: $10.00-20.00). When you approach the till, we will ask what price is comfortable for you from the relevant tier and multiply the number of items selected from that tier by your chosen price.

Items valued at more than $20.00 are still individually priced.

Can I volunteer with SUPPLY?
Yes! We'd love to have you! Volunteer orientations are currently on pause while we transition organizational management -- but please check out our volunteer page for more info.
