The Surprise Shop

Check out Facebook for a sneak peek at our latest offerings!

The Surprise Shop of Trinity Episcopal Church welcomes you to come and shop in our unique and charming location. Our consignment store, built in 1883, is housed in the historic stone rectory of Trinity Church.

Our thrift store offers a vast and constantly changing inventory that includes men, women and children’s clothing as well as housewares, jewelry, books, music, small electronics, and furniture.

The Surprise Shop mission supports:

  • The Assistance Center of Towson Churches to provide those in need with clothing and accessories
  • Janet’s Drawers, named in honor of dedicated volunteer Janet Radcliffe, to provide essential undergarments including women’s and men’s underwear, socks, and bras to individuals and families in need
  • The outreach ministries of Trinity Episcopal Church
  • Local charitable events and food drives

The Surprise Shop works closely with people experiencing homelessness and individuals with limited resources residing in Baltimore County.
