An AI rendering of what the upLIFTT Thrift Store might look like
What if shopping could change lives? What if your old golf clubs, vintage lamp, or forgotten bookshelf could fuel independence, sustain services, and uplift an entire community? Well, get ready, Billings — because it can.
Introducing upLIFTT Thrift — the newest, coolest, and most purposeful thrift store in town, opening at 1201 Grand Avenue, Billings, MT 59102. This isn’t just any thrift store — it’s a movement, a mission, and a chance for you to be part of something truly transformational.
Why upLIFTT?
Because every treasure you buy and every item you donate directly supports LIFTT’s Independent Living Services. That’s right—every vinyl record album, quirky kitchen gadget, and second-hand book fuels programs that help individuals with disabilities and aging individuals live fully, freely, and independently.
We Need YOU!
- Donate everything EXCEPT CLOTHES—furniture, home goods, sporting goods, books, music, video games, movies, and gadgets. If you don’t need it, we do! The one exception to that rule is clothing; we don’t have the people or infrastructure in place to accept clothing donations.
- Shop like your soul depends on it — because your purchases fund real change.
- Spread the word — tell your neighbors, coworkers, and that one friend who always finds the best deals.
- Join Us — We are looking for volunteers to help with the set-up and operations of upLIFTT thrift!
Want to Know More?
- Call us at 406-259-5181 to learn how to volunteer, donate, or learn more about our opening.

So, are you ready to shop with purpose, donate with heart, and upLIFTT your community? The shelves are filling, the doors are opening, and we can’t wait to welcome you. See you soon at upLIFTT Thrift!
