About the Abundance Shop
The Abundance Shop is Los Osos’s only secondhand thrift store that provides Los Osos with a way to recycle and reuse household items and clothing. It is also a friendly stopping off point for those who want a warm welcome and a chance to chat. The income goes to support the mission and ministry of St. Benedict’s, and to local non-profits chosen by the volunteer group. These have included Woods Humane Society, Prado Day Center, Senior Nutrition, Canterbury Club, Los Osos Community Coalition, and Hopes Village.
