Our Mission
IV Thrift is a non-profit dedicated to enriching our community by offering high-quality, affordable second-hand items. We aspire to become a beloved community hub where we can meet people where they are at, build relationships, and show Isla Vista the love of God.
More than a thrift store...
We aim to uplift and transform the Isla Vista community by creating a space that embodies the values of faith, stewardship, and connection.
Community connection:
IV thrift will support and provide stability for MIV missionaries and community members.
Support local missions:
The thrift store industry is at an all time high and is set to grow another 97% by 2027. 42% of the thrift market is composed by GenZ
Reaching Gen Z
This space will allow for MIV community members to show up in the community on a day-to-day basis.

Help us love our city
This adventure is only made possible by the investment and partnership of those who share in our vision of seeing the kingdom of heaven furthered in Isla Vista.
We hope that the additional presence of a physical store front in our community will lift up our city and the ministries that have been supporting it the past 20 years.
Be it through your financial contributions or donations, sowing today will have a direct impact on our ability to be a light in our city, steward the spaces we have been given and create meaningful connections for the glory of God and the good of His city.
We have our planned opening on August 17. Though we have started renovations, we are still looking to raise $100k to sustain this project and get it off of the ground. Additionally, we are looking to build up our inventory and our product basis.
