About St. Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic charity organized into local "conferences," many of which run thrift stores. Store revenue funds direct assistance — rent, utilities, food — for neighbors in need, and stores often provide free goods via voucher to people referred by the society.

Donating (or selling) to them

Most SVdP stores accept clothing, housewares, furniture, and books; many councils offer scheduled furniture pickup. Because each conference is independent, call your local store for its accepted-items list and pickup availability.

Shopping there

Pricing is typically among the lowest of the major charity chains, and buying there directly funds emergency assistance in your own community.
