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 cannot afford clothing, furniture and other household items, are prov
ided them through a Vincentian referral system. Customers, employees in stores with paid staff and volunteers are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, age, gender or national origin. In stores with paid staff 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 St. In this ministry, we pledge to use sound business practices. Surplus funds will be dedicated to the support of Parish Conferences and charitable causes of the Society approved by our Councils and Board of Directors.
