Testimonials from our Community

  • Joan, Thrift Store Customer

    Every sales person I dealt with went above and beyond to answer questions, help me find things and check me out when I was done.

  • Ashlie, Mission Outreach Client

    St. Vincent de Paul has been a miracle for our family. We were about to be evicted and they worked with us and the landlord to help keep our family in our home. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude. I don’t know how to thank St. Vinnies enough for what they did for our family.

  • Katrina, Mission Outreach Client

    I am penning this letter with an exuberant amount of gratitude for supporting me in a critical time with the gas card and vehicle repairs. With so many individuals out of work, homeless or barely surviving, St. Vincent de Paul is a staple of refuge.

  • Gary, Thrift Store Customer

    All the employees are great! Each day they bring so much to so many. Bless them ALL.

  • Susan, Thrift Store Customer

    Everyone was so kind! The store was organized very well and the selection was great. My friend took me there for the first time and now I see why they rave about this place! ❤️

  • Cathy L., Production Manager, St. Vinnies

    I thought I was going to be a cashier. It turned out to be a second chance, not just a job. I love our mission. Giving back to the poor is my main thing and that’s what we do here.

  • Rodrigo, Mission Outreach Client

    I was jobless for 6 months. Once I got a job again, I wouldn't have had enough gas to get there without help from St. Vinnie's.

  • June, Thrift Store Customer

    You all are very kind, helpful and giving and understanding to all of your customers! I love coming! Also, the sales are fantastic!
