Fashion to
stop traffic.
Common Union is more than a thrift store; it's a community movement where fashion meets compassion. Every dollar of profit goes to the fight against human trafficking, in our city and abroad. Be a part of the movement, with style.
Our mission
A common
purpose.
Common Union exists to bring people together around a shared purpose. Every item donated, every purchase made, and every hand that helps becomes part of something larger than itself: a community choosing generosity over indifference and hope over exploitation. By giving new life to pre-loved clothing, we give people a way to create lasting impact, together.
“Fashion isn't just about what you wear. It's about what your purchase can accomplish.”
Where your dollar goes
Ordinary acts. Extraordinary good.
One hundred percent of our profit supports organizations working to end human trafficking — led by our partner Not In My City, founded by Paul Brandt. Here's the work your generosity helps carry.
Prevent
Funding awareness and early intervention so exploitation is stopped before it ever starts.
Restore
Helping survivors find care, dignity, and the support they need to heal and rebuild.
Protect
Standing for a city where vulnerable lives are seen, valued, and kept safe.
Building a community where people are valued, resources are stewarded well, and vulnerable lives are protected.
How to help
Three ways to be part of it.
Donate your closet
Clean, gently used clothing of any kind. Drop it off, or DM us and we'll pick it up from your door from June 16 to 19.
Shop the pop-up
Come find something you'll love on Saturday, June 20. Every purchase turns straight into impact.
Lend a hand

The pop-up
One day.
One neighbourhood.
One common purpose.
We're setting up shop for a single day alongside the Oakridge Fun Run — racks of one-of-a-kind finds, fair prices, and every dollar going to the cause. Come shop after your run, or just come say hello.
