UPDATE: If you would like to help, but are unable to drop off donations by 6 pm on Sunday, August 13, you are invited to drop off at the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store on Braker.
Two trucks from the Thrift Store will be parked near our SVdP office (Bldg. 7) in the side parking lot at St. William on August 12 and 13 (Saturday and Sunday).
Your donations of gently used clothing and other items listed below will directly impact the lives of individuals and families facing hardships in our community. Our conference here at St. William often refers neighbors to the Thrift Store. We pay for a voucher, up to a certain dollar amount, which neighbors can use to select and purchase much-needed clothing, shoes, or household items. The St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store plays a vital role in generating funds to help people in need within our community.
SVDP we accept gently used items that are in good condition for resale purposes in the SVDP Family Store. Products with tears, soiled with stains or are broken, are not acceptable items for resale. Products with missing pieces that are not in good working order are not accepted.
Criteria – If you would not buy this item for yourself, why expect anyone else to buy this item.
