Hope Connection International

Hope Connection International is a nonprofit that supports people affected by abuse, addiction, depression and grief. Its Deja Vu Thrift Store helps fund that work by selling donated furniture, arts and collectibles, children's toys and games, home decor, housewares and linens at discounted prices. Some furniture is custom-made by Just Be Carpentry.

Shoppers can buy eGift cards for furniture, decor, linens, artwork and greeting cards, and the store accepts Afterpay. Donations are taken Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm, and the group can arrange pickups from several towns around Raleigh, free on its standard schedule or faster for a fee. Particle board furniture, mattresses, tube TVs and water-damaged items are not accepted. The physical store location is in transition, so call ahead before visiting.
