St. Vincent de Paul Store

The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP or SVdP or SSVP) is an international voluntary organization in the Catholic Church, founded in 1833 for the sanctification of its members by personal service of the poor. Here in Evansville we are made up of over 450 volunteers throughout Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, and Warrick counties. We are your co-workers, neighbors, attorneys, friends, doctors and servant leaders. Serving Christ's needy is the first purpose of all St. Vincent de Paul stores. To continue in this ministry, we will use sound business practices. Surplus funds will be used to support parish conferences and other Society charitable causes approved by our councils and boards of directors. Breaking that down we serve the call of the Lord to clothe the naked. St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores throughout the United States are an association of lay employees and volunteers dedicated to serve our needy sisters and brothers. All who come to our thrift store are welcomed with dignity and respect. We hope they leave as friends to shop with us again. Those who cannot afford the clothing, furniture and other household items they need, will be provided for through a Vincentian initiated referral system. Our customers, employees and volunteers are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, age, sex or national origin. All people including the disadvantaged, handicapped and other special persons are employed so that we may benefit from the talents and abilities of everyone seeking employment.
