Retail Therapy with a Mission

Shopping at The Guild Shop is a convergence of commerce and
compassion.

The Guild Shop is Houston’s premier resale destination for
treasure hunters, consignors, thrifters, pickers, resellers,
volunteers, and retail therapy seekers. Each of these patrons
directly contributes to the betterment of elderly in need in the
greater Houston area.

What was once considered Houston’s best kept secret for
sourcing treasures has transformed into a beloved icon that
celebrates Houston’s past, present and future.

    VOLUNTEERING

    The Guild Shop is blessed with over 190 committed volunteers, who enrich our community by ministering to our customers and each other.

    Men and women from different backgrounds, religious affiliations, and ages (high schoolers to elders), and those with knowledge of collectibles, have discovered the joy of serving others while learning about objects that run the gamut from kitschy to antique!

    Volunteers have a broad range of interests and talents which are put to use as salespeople, pricers and researchers, cashiers, merchandisers and more.

    Volunteers are asked to serve one three-hour shift each week. Training is provided on the job.
