Benefiting charities since 1996.

Welcome
Everytime you make a purchase at The Thrifty Quaker you are supplying needed funding for a variety of worthy charities. We are located in the Midlothian Station Shopping Center in the Village of Midlothian at the corner of Midlothian Turnpike and Coalfield Road.

What we are all about
For a number of years, Midlothian Friends Meeting, a quaker meeting (congregation) located along the county line between Powhatan and Midlothian, Virginia, had a desire to do major social outreach. In August of 1996, the meeting established a thrift store, The Thrifty Quaker, from which all proceeds (after operating expenses) benefit charity. Proceeds are used to provide help to:

Needy local individuals and families
Victims of war, violence, or disasters
Social and peace organizations
Under-priveleged and oppressed groups

The Thrifty Quaker features a charitable cause for a finite period of time as the designated recipient of the thrift store's proceeds. Our incorporation by-laws prevent any of the proceeds from being used for the operation of Midlothian Friends Meeting. The designated recipient is changed monthly, as determined by the Peace and Social Action committee of Midlothian Friends Meeting.
