A Mission-Driven Thrift Experience

Danmission Genbrug Herning is a charitable secondhand shop located on Gl Landevej in central Herning. Operated entirely by passionate volunteers, the store channels all surplus revenue toward Danmission's humanitarian initiatives supporting vulnerable populations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Denmark. Every purchase directly contributes to meaningful development work, from supporting war-affected children in Syria to empowering impoverished women in Tanzania and protecting threatened rainforests in Cambodia. The store embodies a philosophy that shopping secondhand is simultaneously beneficial for the environment, supportive of global communities, and rewarding for individual shoppers seeking unique finds at reasonable prices.

Curated Secondhand Inventory

The shop stocks an extensive range of quality used items carefully selected to ensure they will find new purpose. Shoppers discover vintage clothing and footwear, pre-loved furniture, books, vinyl records, DVDs, electronics, toys, and household goods. The inventory reflects donations from the local community—items people no longer need but believe others will treasure. Staff and volunteers maintain high standards, accepting only goods in genuine usable condition, ensuring the shopping experience remains rewarding and the store's environmental mission stays intact.

Volunteer-Powered Community Space

The heart of Danmission Genbrug Herning is its volunteer collective. These dedicated individuals create a warm, welcoming atmosphere while managing daily operations. The store functions as more than a retail space; it represents a meaningful community where volunteers find purpose, camaraderie, and the satisfaction of contributing to global change. The organization actively welcomes new volunteers, offering training and integration into this tight-knit fellowship. Visitors are encouraged to inquire about volunteering opportunities during their visits.

Environmental Commitment and Sustainable Practices

The store actively reduces plastic consumption by minimizing single-use bags. Shoppers can purchase handmade canvas tote bags—sewn by volunteer crafters from reclaimed fabric—to carry purchases home. This initiative exemplifies the store's broader commitment to circular economy principles. By choosing secondhand goods, customers participate in reducing consumption, extending product lifecycles, and minimizing waste destined for landfills. The store frames sustainable shopping not as sacrifice but as a positive choice benefiting personal finances, environmental health, and global equity.

Donation and Community Engagement

Danmission Genbrug Herning welcomes donations of clothing, textiles, furniture, toys, electronics, books, and other household items. Potential donors are encouraged to contact the store directly to discuss what items are needed and how to arrange drop-off. The organization emphasizes that donations should be items donors genuinely believe others will use and enjoy. This selective approach maintains inventory quality and reinforces the store's environmental ethics by preventing unusable items from requiring disposal at recycling centers.
