The Village Store - A Community Thrift Shop

The Village Store is a nonprofit, volunteer-run thrift store on River Road in Wimberley that supports local charities. Three buildings make up the store: the Main Store, the Builders' Barn and a boutique in the Lillie Dobie House.

Shoppers can find vintage pieces, clothing, furniture and construction materials, and the Dobie House holds pieces ranging from fine jewelry to antiques that can be "sometimes odd." The Builders' Barn also stocks medical gear, outdoor equipment, garden supplies and big appliances.

Four community members started the store in 2001 to raise money for Wimberley Valley Habitat for Humanity, and it later moved to its current, larger site. Its net profits now go to five partner nonprofits, including EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens, Keep Wimberley Beautiful and PAWS of Central Texas.
