DAV Thrift Stores


If you are in need of a specific item and want to save money, or need to de-clutter and are unsure what to do with your unwanted goods, we have a solution!

So we did everything so it would be safe for our customers and employees. Oh, we got clothes, we have shoes, we have videos, we have gain, we have pillows, embedding, and purses. Donations to the DAV store are taken here at the East University Store location. Lots of items on the rack here, even an electric fireplace. And you'd be surprised that sometimes the label from the store is still on some of the markers. Well, not only do leaders of the DAV work to raise money for veterans through this thrift store, they're also active in lobbying for new laws.

And that would help 39,000 disabled veterans. While most shoppers we spoke with come in because they really I have several families, members that were, We have 35,000 going to the VA hospital for needed equipment. We take care of the VA hospital, the Iowa Veterans Home. We take care of veterans that need groceries, I'm Des Moines, Roger Riley, W-H-O 13 News.
