CREATE A SMILE THRIFT STORE IS A FUNDRAISING PROJECT FOR CREATE A SMILE DENTAL FOUNDATION

AFTER EXPENSES FOR THE STORE ARE REALIZED THE PROFIT IS DONATED TO C.A.S.D.F. TO BE USED FOR OUR MISSION.

ALL OF THE MERCHANDISE HAS BEEN DONATED BY: Individuals, Businesses, Yard Sales, Estates, Churches, attic, closet and garage cleanouts,  Etc.

All merchandise is individually inspected for quality, tears, spots, functional zippers, etc.

Our prices are very competitive and many times lower than competing Thrift Stores. We have very friendly, helpful, employees. You will be greeted when you come in, and asked to come back when you leave. We are a little packed in, but that gives you more of a selection.

We have a variety of merchandise from clothing to household, to kinck-knacks, to seasonal merchandise, to some furniture....all the merchandise is donated. Every day is a surprise. Every day since we have been open we have had donations. It is really gratifying to know that folks want to donate their quality used items to us to resell.

Many of the items we sell have the original price stickers on them.

The main showroom of the store is clothing, household, knick-knacks, and a showcase packed with goodies. This large room is heated in the winter and AC in the summer. We have a "landing" behind the main showroom. This room has shoes, boots, books, and coats as well as a "Vintage Section". This room is not heated. A coat is a good thing to wear to shop here.

We then have a set of steps and our downstair section. This is where we have seasonal mechandise on the south wall of the large room. Right now we have Christmas Merchandise. The rest of the room is filled with tables and shelves with a multitude of merchandise from toys, board games, household merchandise, tv's, vcr's, etc. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of treasures here.  

Our Corporate office is also located downstairs. I venture to guess we have the only corporate office in USA without AC and heat. We do use a fan. People can pick up an application for assistance here.

Corporations & stores going out of business


Do you have merchandise taking up valuable warehouse space? Is your company remodeling, relocating, preparing to close, or need to dispose of office equipment or inventory? Are you looking for an alternative to wholesaling overrun products or out of season merchandise?
Your Corporate Donation is a benefit for your business! Making a donation to Create A Smile Thrift Shop has many benefits, they include:
1. Provides your business with a tax deduction on the value of donated items.
2. Saves or eliminates costs associated with product storage
3. Recycles items and reduces the amount of waste in local landfills.
4. Helps CAS Thrift Shop make more money to donate to Create A Smile Dental Foundation, a not for profit charitable organization that helps low income people with dental problems.
Your corporate donations translate into valuable merchandise in our retail thrift stores. Revenue from our store supports the projects of CASDF.

The phone # for the Corporate office of CASDF is 618-925-2140 and is located in Carterville, Illinois.

At the present time we are accepting applications for a data base when large grants are received or when enough funds have accumulated to pay the bills and money is donated to CASDF.
