Volunteer charity shop (IODE)IODE Angela Bruce Chapter Thrift Shop
432 Kerr St, Oakville, ON L6K 3C4
In Oakville, on Kerr Street near Speers Road and 16.3 km south-southwest of City Centre Drive, the Angela Bruce Chapter of the IODE runs Thrifty Finds, a shop staffed by volunteers whose website lists books next to clothing, home decor, kitchenware and toys and promises your next page-turner among the tea sets and jewellery. Everything for sale is donated and payment is cash or debit only, and Oakville News reported that money from the shop paid for eleven $2,000 bursaries handed to local high school graduates at a ceremony on June 14, 2026. The chapter dates its first shop to 1943, and the opening days match the Mississauga Halton Healthline listing, last fully revised on July 14, 2026.

3130 Dixie Rd, Mississauga, ON L4Y 2A6
On Dixie Road a short walk north of Talize, 5.2 km east-northeast of Mississauga City Hall, this Mission Thrift Store has posted about its own book stock: on December 30, 2025, its Instagram priced books at $1 each through the week ending January 3, 18 days after a December 12 post tagged #booksforkids. On July 25, 2026 the same account said every department gets fresh stock daily, and Sheridan Student Union's SheridanLife blog, writing on February 2, 2026, rated the shop for furniture and called it the most overlooked of the area's thrift stores. An October 2025 copy of its store page in the Internet Archive gave over-65s 25 per cent off on Wednesdays, and a seniors' day post on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 repeated a 25 per cent discount on full-priced items.

3100 Dixie Rd, Mississauga, ON L4Y 2A6
On the same stretch of Dixie Road as Mission Thrift, Talize describes this store as one where donations arrive daily and the clothing, furniture and housewares turn over constantly; its store page says nothing about books, so treat any shelf you find as a bonus. When Sheridan Student Union's SheridanLife blog toured local thrift stores on February 2, 2026, it found the place huge and sorted by colour and size, noted a daily Manager's Sale cutting 50 per cent off one category, and said students save with the Student Price Card. According to the chain, donations left here help fund Talize's community programs.

1475 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4X 1L3
On Dundas Street East near Dixie Road, about 5.5 km from the Civic Centre, this Value Village places itself across the street from DOT Furniture on its store page, a copy of which the Internet Archive saved on May 13, 2026 with the same weekly hours. Books turn up there only in a stock sentence Savers runs on its branch pages and in a Books & media line among accepted donations, so nothing confirms how much shelf space this particular store gives them. Savers says shopping here benefits no charity, though it pays the Oasis Clothing Bank for clothing and household goods left at the door, and on Tuesdays customers aged 60 or over save 30 per cent.

1224 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4Y 2C5
Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes runs this community store and its donation centre on Dundas Street East, 5 km out from City Centre Drive and the southernmost of the Dixie-area thrift stores listed here. Its page lists books only among the goods it accepts as donations, and Goodwill's national site presents its work as job training and career support. Rounding up the neighbourhood's secondhand shops on February 2, 2026, Sheridan Student Union's SheridanLife blog counted books in this branch's mix and flagged its weekly colour-tag sales.

1458 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4X 1L4
On Dundas Street East, roughly 5.6 km from City Hall and the farthest east of the Dixie-area stops, this Salvation Army store has a Donor Welcome Centre on site, skips the tax on most purchases as a non-profit and gives seniors a 10 per cent daily discount. Its entry in the Mississauga Halton Healthline directory, which the directory says was last fully updated on September 22, 2026, lists books with the goods it sells, in wording identical to the entry for the charity's Streetsville store. On February 2, 2026, the Sheridan Student Union's SheridanLife blog called it one of the largest Salvation Army locations in Mississauga and a handy stop on a thrift crawl.
Hours: Mon–Sat 10am–8pmWebsite Value VillageValue Village West Mississauga
70 Bristol Rd E, Mississauga, ON L4Z 3K8
In Sandalwood Square on Bristol Road East, 3.2 km north-northwest of Mississauga City Hall, is the branch Savers names West Mississauga, and a capture of its page made by the Internet Archive on June 7, 2026 shows the address and opening times unchanged. Donations of clothing and housewares made here earn money for Diabetes Canada. As at the chain's Dundas Street store, books appear only in the boilerplate stock sentence and the Books & media item on the donations checklist, so the shelf is unknown until you walk in.
