TIMELESS TREASURE THRIFT STORE IS…
Timeless Treasure thrift store, located at 1103 Enterprise Road in Macon, Missouri, is a valuable and beneficial community service operated by Macon County’s extended employment sheltered workshop program. It opened in the year 2003 and quickly became an awesome reuse program and wonderful community service.
It is stocked with public donations of all kinds of useful household goods and clothing. We keep our general prices low and our quality standards high. The best part is, when you donate goods to Timeless Treasure, your donation stays right here in your own community, helping people you know, love, work with and live next to.

YOUR IMPACT WHEN YOU DONATE
When you donate your QUALITY, second-hand household goods and apparel, to the Timeless Treasure thrift store, you are supporting MDI’s ability to provide jobs for people that want to work, who have significant disabilities.
No donated gift, made to our non-profit, intentionally goes to waste! If at all possible, MDI processes anything left unsold in their Recycle Center.
MDI issues receipts for tax deduction purposes for goods donated to be sold in the thrift store, but the donor must present their donation directly to a staff member in person, for processing. Items donated after hours are not able to be processed for a tax deduction receipt!
If you donate to Timeless Treasure thrift store…
“Thank you, for your wonderful gifts!”
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR THRIFT STORE
“I loved hearing customers tell me they love the store and love to visit. We even have out-of-state customers that always visit when they come through Macon. I like seeing them find a good deal on the things they need too.” – Former Employee Sales Clerk, S. Frost
We asked a few customers to recall their best “prize finds” that they had purchased at Timeless Treasure, and one replied, “I bought moving boxes for my home move and they worked very well for my needs.”
Another customer stated she, “spent $50.00 on a wedding gown that was near new and fit like a glove.”
While still another customer had this to say; “Without Timeless Treasure, I couldn’t afford to keep my kids in clothing for the summer. They tear clothes up playing all day. I love the special sales you have each week too. Lots of bargains!”
WHY QUALITY COUNTS TO US
When it comes to donating household goods for resale think GOOD QUALITY, OPERATIONAL, as well as, CLEAN AND DRY and please don’t donate your TRASH!
- NO – TELEVISIONS OR COMPUTER SYSTEMS OF ANY KIND – WORKING OR NOT WORKING!
- NO – Non-operational, large electronic or electric items – especially those that contain hazardous waste substances
- NO – Soiled or broken furniture or bed sets

MDI accepts most any household goods donation with a good resale value. That value, however, is under the scrutiny and determination of the managers of the thrift store. Your goods donation may be politely refused if it has no value to our non-profit. We don’t mean to be inconsiderate of your gift, however, our space for inventory and merchandise is very limited, so we must consider our situation, and our purpose, and ensure the value of your gift before receiving it.
If you have questions, comments or concerns, just let us know! You can visit us on Facebook social media at “Timeless Treasure Thrift Store” OR CALL (660) 385 3111.
