Shoppers browsing Monticello Avenue in downtown and midtown Norfolk will find the CHKD Thrift Store at 795 Monticello Avenue stocked with donated clothing, shoes, furniture, electronics, books, DVDs, bicycles, artwork, and sporting goods, all priced to move and all in resalable condition. This location is one of three CHKD Thrift Stores operating within Norfolk city limits, part of a network of twenty two stores that stretches across Hampton Roads, into Richmond and Petersburg, and down into Elizabeth City and Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Every dollar spent here supports Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, the regional pediatric hospital that has relied on thrift store revenue since the very first CHKD Thrift Store opened in 1986, a program that today returns more than two million dollars a year directly to the hospital’s mission of caring for children regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The store keeps generous hours to make donating and shopping easy for working families: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, so a stop can happen before work, after school pickup, or on a lazy weekend afternoon. Regular shoppers plan their trips around the store’s rotating discount calendar, since Monday is Military Day with 25 percent off for active duty and retired service members, a nod to the large military population throughout the Hampton Roads region, and Tuesday is Customer Appreciation Day with 25 percent off for everyone who walks through the door. Additional discount days are set aside for law enforcement, first responders, and seniors aged 55 and up, rewarding the community members who keep the neighborhood running and give back to it in turn. Donors who want to clear out a closet, a garage, or an entire estate do not even need to make the drive themselves: the Southside donation line offers free pickups Monday through Friday all year round, making it simple to turn unused household goods into hospital funding without ever loading a car. Because the inventory is entirely donation driven, the shelves and racks turn over constantly, so the same visit two weeks apart can turn up completely different finds, from a barely worn coat to a like new bicycle to a shelf of hardcover books. That constant churn is part of the appeal for regulars who treat thrifting on Monticello Avenue as a habit rather than a once a year errand, since patience and repeat visits are what turn up the best furniture and electronics deals. The Norfolk location’s spot along Monticello Avenue puts it within easy reach of the surrounding midtown neighborhoods and close to the other retail and civic activity that runs along this corridor, making it a convenient stop for residents across the city rather than a destination only for one pocket of Norfolk. For anyone weighing whether a secondhand run is worth the trip, the combination of everyday low prices, a rotating discount schedule stacked with military, senior, and first responder days, and the knowledge that the proceeds fund pediatric care at CHKD gives this Monticello Avenue store a reason to visit beyond simple bargain hunting. In short, the CHKD Thrift Store on Monticello Avenue in Norfolk is a donation based secondhand shop selling clothing, furniture, electronics, and household goods at steep discounts on rotating days, with all proceeds supporting Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.
