If you love bargain shopping and supporting a great cause, Rainbow Thrift Shoppe has you covered!

With many great items, you are bound to find just the right thing! Whether you're shopping for home décor, clothes, housewares, collectibles, books, or gifts, you can find quality items at a fair price!

Donate, Shop, or Volunteer 

When you donate, shop, or volunteer at our store, you are supporting Rainbow Community Care, a local, independent, and non-profit provider that serves patients and families in Dodge and Jefferson Counties, as well as portions of Columbia, Dane, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha Counties. Proceeds from the store support Rainbow’s missions of hospice care, palliative care, advance care planning, grief support, parish nursing, and volunteer programs. Thank you!
