Garde’n Gate Provisions thrift store is a local thrift store dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those who live in our community. Proceeds from the store will benefit local families in need, schools, and shelters. Deals on deals on deals. What you need without breaking the bank. We provide a plethora of goods and necessities including furniture, appliances, mattresses, kitchenware, books, and so much more.
The Garde’n Gate Provisions Thrift Store is located at 1172 W. Jackson St. in Ozark in the same plaza as King Cash Saver. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm.

We provide vouchers to organizations to locate necessities for the individuals that they serve. No hoops to jump through. No applications or deadlines. Just a relentless passion to meet the needs of our community.

Simply reach out to let us know what you need and we will search tirelessly to ensure you get it- be it furniture, home goods, or something more specific.

Items are sorted at our South Street Warehouse then brought directly to our Thrift Store or donated to one of the many local nonprofits we’ve partnered with such as the Boys and Girls Club, Route 66 Pet Rescue, Foster Care Connect, and local public schools. Donations may be shopped with vouchers provided to individuals in need of specific items. The prices at our Thrift Shop are meant to bridge the gap of accessibility to goods.
