More than just a thrift store, The Bargain Basket is the largest ministry outreach of the United Church of Marco Island. Since 1975, this beloved community treasure has welcomed shoppers with exceptional quality merchandise, friendly volunteers, and ever-changing discoveries—all while supporting a greater purpose. Recognized as one of the area's premier thrift stores, the Bargain Basket consistently receives outstanding reviews for its welcoming atmosphere, outstanding selection, and unbeatable value. Best of all, every purchase and donation helps fund the mission and ministries of the United Church while supporting local, national, and international outreach. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, shoppers, and more than 100 dedicated volunteers, the Bargain Basket has contributed over $9 million to charitable causes, proving that every bargain truly makes a difference.

At United Church of Marco Island, Mission is a part of who we are as a church. We place great emphasis on Jesus' command to "Go and make disciples of all nations..." and we seek to accomplish this in Marco Island and beyond! From the beginning, we have always sought opportunities to engage with the world around us, supporting those in need in creative and impactful ways.

Church members also participate in “hands-on” missions by volunteering at many of our local mission partners - Our Daily Bread Food Pantry, Camp Able, Habitat for Humanity, and our own Bargain Basket - demonstrating our Faith In Action.
