Our St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores
The St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store recycles your gently used donated items for repurpose in the community. Our profits go to help those people in-need.

 Our SVDP Thrift Stores Serve 5 Primary Purposes

1.) To provide a one-stop shop for all genders, ages, and nationalities of low-cost recycled or new clothing and other goods.

2.) To provide the poor and those individuals and families who are truely in need with support and a source for low-cost clothing and other necessary goods at little, or at no cost to them.

3.) To benefit the homeless and poor in our communities by generating sufficient funds to open additional thrift stores who's revenues, like our first store's revenues, will go to support our goal of developing our St. Vincent de Paul Help Centers, a SVDP Family Homeless Shelter along our Gulf
Coast, and other ministries in support of our youth, our SVDP Conferences, and those in-need.

4.) To benefit our community by providing job training, employment, and volunteer opportunities for those elderly, handi-capped, disabled, struggling veterans and military, as well as the jobless individuals who are in-need of jobs. This generates confidence, a sense of self-pride, and satisfaction among people.

5.) Through donations and grants we will invest in, develop, and operate community-based Help Centers that will provide focus on social/human services directly within our communities. Our first community-based Help Center is being planned in Ocean Springs, MS.  We will collaborate with other social service agencies to house community-based social/human services, providing a food pantry, a full kitchen, hygine, restrooms & showers, laundry facilities, temporary respite, education, counseling, access to medical care, pharmaceutical assistance, and spiritual support.

As an analogy - think of it as what a small community physician's office is to a large metropolitan hospital, or a what a Dollar General is to a full-sized grocery store. From small beginnings, with your help, we will work toward the development of a centralized Family Homeless Shelter. But, by first developing smaller outreach facilities, they will feed into a centralized facility with greaterservices.
 

We need your help. With your support and generous Donations our thrift store will be able to provide household goods, clothing, furniture and other, both recycled and new, necessities to a broad range of people. This will support the disabled, the elderly, the poor, those in-need, the homeless, and our working poor.

Our gift card system will be available and can be utilized by all charitable organizations along our Gulf Coast. Our voucher system, managed by the St. Vincent de Paul Conferences throughout the Biloxi Catholic Diocese, will be able to directly communicate specific needs, or distribute our gift cards that will enable those we serve  to purchase furniture and clothing free of charge to meet their household needs.
