About Us
Some of our Ladies Clothes
We were established as a non-profit organization in 1985. For almost 40 years we have been located in the heart of the City of Fort Saskatchewan – Downtown! We have a staff of six and about a dozen store volunteers who contribute to our success.
The Society annually contributes about $20,000 to local non profit organizations. To date we have given back over $990,000! Providing funding by the way of grants isn't the only way Twice But Nice helps those in need. We also work along with the Families First Society, the Food Bank, the Bridge Wellness Hub for Youth, City of Fort Saskatchewan FCSS, the Multicultural Association, and HUFS whenever a family is need of clothes, they will send them to Twice But Nice and the family or individual in need can take what they need at no charge.
We provide one-stop thrifting where families, crafters, and DIY’ers can find good quality, gently used items at a reasonable price while protecting the environment. One of our goals is to keep items that are reusable out of landfills by reselling and down-lining.
We are part of a circular business, so enviably there are more donations coming in the back door than we can sell out the front, so we have “down-lining partners”. Some of our items that don’t or won’t sell in the store are picked up by the Canadian Diabetes Association . Every week they pick up reusable totes or bags filled with clothing items not suitable for selling in the store. Our down-lining keeps well over 2 tons of textiles out of the landfill per month.
