Take the Truck Program
Get your co-workers
or employees involved in a donation drive!
We are offering to coordinate a workday with you when we
can park one of our delivery trucks in your lot making it
very convenient for your employees to prepare ahead of
time to bring in their gently used items to donate to St.
Vincent de Paul of Appleton. These items can be anything
from clothing to electronics to general household goods.
At this current time, our greatest needs are household
goods and knick-knacks.
St. Vincent de Paul of Appleton, Inc. works to combat
poverty in the Appleton area. We do this in three ways:
By SELLING your donations, we generate funds that are directly
distributed back into the Appleton community. 100% of
all proceeds from St. Vincent de Paul of Appleton, Inc.
STAY in the APPLETON AREA. Some of these funds are
distributed to other area non-profits whose mission
correlates with ours, and other funds are distributed via
St. Vincent de Paul volunteers directly to families in
need. That money is used to keep families in their homes,
provide transportation for job - related activities -- and
to keep their lights on.
By DISTRIBUTING goods directly from our thrift store, we
provide clothing and household goods and furniture at no
cost to families in need. We do this through a network of
agencies that provide us with referrals.
By PARTNERING with the Fox Valley Warming Shelter, we work
directly with the homeless by providing clothing and
bedding. Currently, we are working with the FVWS to help
them secure permanent housing, and a section on the St.
Vincent de Paul of Appleton, Inc. land is one of the spots
under consideration.
Through your donations, you are supporting your own
neighbors. St. Vincent de Paul of Appleton, Inc. works
entirely on donations. We WILL NOT buy closeout or any
other type of merchandise. We depend solely on your
donations. We work with over 200 volunteers and a very
minimal paid staff. EVERY penny goes right back into the
Appleton area.
