The St. Paul's Conference does not accept donated household items or clothing. However, you can contact our SVDP Service Center to donate your items. Many of the goods that are donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will go toward our Voucher Ministry program, where individuals and families in need are either visited by one of our volunteers or referred by someone to our organization. Goods are then offered to them free of charge in a confidential and dignified way.
Your gently used clothing, furniture and household items become an integral part of the story for change. Things that you may think to throw away (even food) could have a huge impact on people within your very own community. Before you throw items away, consider donating them to Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
All items sold in our Resale Shops fund our programs to help others have a better quality of life and give them hope. Some of your things may go directly to those in need by way of our Voucher Ministry. Either way, rest assured the Society can find a better home for your gently used goods or unwanted items than the landfill. Schedule a pickup.Vincentian Services Center
