Ballard Thrift Shop

Serving the Asbury Park Community Since 1985

The Ballard Thrift Shop is a long-standing outreach ministry of Ballard United Methodist Church, dedicated to serving the Asbury Park community and surrounding areas. Since 1985, our mission has been to provide clean, quality clothing, accessories, and household goods at minimal cost—or at no cost to those referred by a partnering social service agency.

All proceeds from the thrift shop go directly to support local church ministries and outreach efforts.
