Lovelady Thrift Store

Lovelady Thrift Store, located at 7720 Ludington Lane in Irondale, Alabama, is a nonprofit thrift retailer that opened in early 2010 to support the Lovelady Center’s mission of providing rehabilitation and employment opportunities for women in recovery from addiction. The store accepts donations of clothing, furniture, electronics, and other household items, with proceeds generating over 50% of the Lovelady Center’s operating budget. Operating Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., the thrift store serves the greater Birmingham area with a wide selection of secondhand goods at affordable prices. The store also features handcrafted artisanal products created by the founder Brenda Lovelady Spahn and program participants, further supporting the center’s mission to empower women transitioning into productive lives.
