The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores throughout the United
States are mutually formed in an association of lay employees and
volunteers dedicated to serving our needy sisters and brothers. All who
come to our stores are welcomed with dignity and respect. Our hope is
that they leave as friends and return to shop with us again. Those who
can not afford clothing, furniture, and other household items, are
provided them through a Vincentian initiated referral system. Customers, employees and volunteers are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, age, sex or national origin. All, including the disadvantaged, handicapped and persons with special needs are employed so that we may all benefit from the talents and abilities of everyone seeking employment. Serving Christ's needy is the primary goal of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul stores. In this ministry, we pledge to use sound business practices. Surplus funds (all monies raised minus operating costs) are dedicated to the support of Parish Conferences and charitable causes of the Society as approved by our Councils and Boards of Directors. |
