Volunteer

Volunteers are at the heart of the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store. Every donated item sorted, every shelf stocked, and every customer helped directly supports our mission to assist individuals and families in need within our community. By volunteering your time, you play a vital role in extending dignity, compassion, and practical support to neighbors facing financial hardship.
