The Original Charity Shop and Library has raised much-needed funds to support worthy causes and charities in Jávea and the surrounding areas for almost 50 years.
The award-winning multi-national registered charity has raised some half-a-million euros over the years through its shop which offers high-quality previously-owned goods for bargain prices as well as through sponsored activities such as the annual Mirador Challenge.
Its army of volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that the success continues.
The Shop
The Original Charity Shop is located in Carrer Nancy in the Arenal zone of Jávea close to the sandy beach. When you think of a charity shop, it’ll probably conjure up images of a small scruffy shop selling largely unwanted second-hand items. The Original Charity Shop is completelydifferent! Its smart and spacios shop offers a considerable range of high quality second-hand clotheing and useful items at bargain prices. Pop in and you’ll be surprised at what you might find.
VISA and Mastercard debit and credit cards are now accepted for purchases of more than 10 euros.
