SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL OMAHA THRIFT STORES
At SSVP Omaha, we know that our thrift stores are more than just places to shop –
they’re community lifelines!
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha operates three thrift stores in the greater Omaha area. Offering quality clothing, furniture, home décor, and more at deeply discounted prices, our thrift stores help families stretch limited budgets and get the most value from every dollar. Behind the scenes, our dedicated thrift store management team works hand-in-hand with SSVP Conferences, Vincentians, and the District Office to ensure that our mission reaches everyone who needs it. Through these partnerships, neighbors in need can receive free vouchers to access essential – and often higher-costing – household items. We also provide similar support for unhoused neighbors moving into permanent housing, helping them furnish their new apartments with furniture, bedding, and other necessities.
You can get involved in and support our important mission by making in-kind donations - gently used clothing, accessories and other household merchandise - to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha’s thrift stores. So, whether you're thinking of donating items or shopping for vintage treasures, your support of the Society’s thrift stores helps generate jobs, funding and support for our programs to feed, clothe and house people in need.
Why lend your support to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha’s Thrift Stores?
Funding which supports our SSVP Omaha mission – A critical source of funding that helps sustain our programs that serve Omaha’s poor and homeless individuals and families is our SSVP Omaha thrift stores. All net revenue from thrift stores’ sales helps fund our services to neighbors in need.
Eco-friendly – As we know, it’s all about our environment these days, as we see electric cars, energy saving appliances, solar power, etc. Our thrift stores do their part in saving our environment by extending the lives of produced products and avoiding landfills. Donated items that come to our stores are repurposed and sold. Unsold clothing items are further repurposed and sold, in bulk – with proceeds supporting our SSVP Omaha thrift stores.
Employment – Our thrift stores provide jobs, along with new job skills and advancement opportunities for our employees.
Value – Stores offer value to our customers and especially in difficult times.
Because of their extremely discounted pricing, our thrift stores allow households with lower incomes to be able to afford quality items that they may be unable to purchase at other retail stores.
Vogue – Thrift Stores are definitely in fashion and provide a fun place to shop for value and diversity.
