ASYMCA Bargain Shops

Open to Service Members & Military Families

Shop for a Cause!

Welcome to ASYMCA Bargain Shops, where service members and military families based in Alaska will enjoy unique and convenient shopping experiences! With locations on Elmendorf Air Force Base, Fort Richardson, and Fort Wainwright, our ASYMCA Bargain Shops offer an extensive selection of clothes, kitchen appliances, books, games, decor, and more. Inventory changes frequently, so you never know what treasures you might find.

Every purchase supports the Armed Services YMCA of Alaska, a nonprofit organization that provides essential programs and services to military members and families stationed in Alaska. With your support, we can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those who serve our country.

Donations are accepted year-round. Ask us about volunteer opportunities! Keep scrolling to learn more.
