Help Fill Our Thrift Stores PDF Print E-mail

We rely on the generous support of our donors for all of the merchandise we sell. Individuals, businesses and churches play an important role in providing the goods for the Thrift Stores. "Gently used" clothing, household items, and furniture are always needed. St. Vincent de Paul sells the donated goods in our stores. Additionally, some donated items clothe the residents of our campus.

You are welcome to bring donations to any one of our four store locations (click here for a map). If you have a large donation or furniture to donate, please contact our donation pick-up service at (502) 589-7837, or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to send an e-mail. We will schedule a convenient time to pick up your donated items.

Remember, all profits from the stores directly support our campus facilities for the homeless. And there are no “for profit” middlemen in our organization. The full value of your donation will make a difference in this community. Not sure what kinds of things to give? Check out this list: Donation Guidelines.

Some donors give us special items such as jewelry, antiques and collectibles. In order to maximize the value of these donations, we sometimes try to sell them online instead of in our stores. Once the item sells, we will provide you with a tax-deductible receipt for the amount of the sale. To make arrangements for this type of donation, please contact Judy McCoy at (502) 301-8676.

 
Good Samaritan Program PDF Print E-mail

Over 27 years ago, one of our board members was inspired by the idea of the “miracle of sharing”.  Such a miracle occurred when Jesus fed a crowd of 5000 with just a few loaves of bread and a few fish.

Taking this concept to heart, the board member started to spread the word, and ultimately spoke before thousands of people at Sunday liturgies.  He asked them to give something small – the result of which would later become miraculous.  Specifically, he asked them to consider sharing a portion of their resources, such as $25 each month, with St. Vincent de Paul, to help those in need.  Those who answered his plea became Good Samaritans of St. Vincent de Paul.
