Welcome to Phoenix Exchange
It is our mission to give back to our community by housing a space where we can offer affordable thrift, as well as opportunities to trade and barter for goods as a means to help community members with a limited income.
We believe in people over profit.
All donated children's clothes will be offered back to the community for free.
We believe that every child should have access to necessary apparel. Join us in making a difference!
Community-Centric Thrift Store
Our primary mission is to help people in our community have access to low cost or free necessary items, as well as access to affordable, good-quality used general items.
As we work towards non-profit status, it is our promise to those who support our store through donation or patronage that we will:
- Only sell items at reasonable prices.
- Offer necessary items that have been donated back to the community free of charge when possible.
- To always offer donated children's clothes back to the community free of charge.
- Be transparent in how all income and monetary donations are being utilized inside and out of Phoenix Exchange.
Thrift, Barter, and Trade: It's not just business,
it's personal.
We have found that most people who donate clothing, shoes, furniture, etc. would prefer to have these items go back into their community at little or no cost. We do not have a shortage of things in our communities, but we do have a limited number of ways to help distribute these items to our friends and neighbors that could use them.

Phoenix Exchange is built off of donations from our community to offer back to the community.
We pick up donations! If you live in the Northern part of Utah County or the Southern part of Salt Lake County, we can pick up donations. To schedule a pick up contact us below.

Why Thrift and Trade are so Important
As we make are way through a world of uncertainty it's important for us to remember that there is currently more than enough for everyone. Over consumption of fast fashion and flimsy plastic-based textiles hurts the most vulnerable parts of humanity the most.
If there is currently enough of a resource for everyone but people are still going without, then we have a distribution problem, not a supply and demand problem. Many textile companies today prefer to dump what they cannot sell into our landfills and oceans over giving them to people who could and benefit from them.
