 The
St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store is volunteers dedicated in serving
our needy brothers and sisters. All who come to our store are welcomed
with dignity and respect. Our hope is they leave as friends and return
to shop with us again. Those who cannot afford clothing and household
items are provided them through a Vincentian referral system in conjunction
with Project Timothy and other services in town.
Serving
Christ’s needy is the primary goal of the Society of St. Vincent
de Paul Store. In this ministry, we pledge to use sound business practices.
Surplus funds will be dedicated to the support of Parish Conference
and charitable causes of the Society approved by our Council and Board
of Directors.

“You
are the servants of the poor… They are your masters, and the more
difficult they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more LOVE
you must give them. It is your Love alone that the poor will forgive
you the bread you will give them.”
St. Vincent de Paul 1581-1660
St.
Vincent de Paul Thrift Store is a place where people receive not only
the goods they need, but a place where compassion, friendship, love,
and a smile are freely given to one and all. We have many dedicated
volunteers both Catholic and Christian who work extremely hard to serve
their neighbor and make the store a pleasant place to visit.
Volunteers
are always needed to work a few hours a week.
