SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL OMAHA THRIFT STORES
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha operates four thrift stores, offering deeply discounted, quality clothing and household items to help low-income families and individuals, and those in financial crisis, to stretch their household budgets. We also provide free store vouchers to those in need, and we partner with local nonprofits, hospitals, and agencies to distribute essential goods at no cost.
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.

DONATING IN-KIND ITEMS
If you are considering donating your household items to our SSVP thrifts stores – Thank You! We are very grateful. However, please check out our In-Kind Donation Guidelines for the types of donations that we can accept, as well as the list of donations that we are not able to accept at this time.
IN-KIND DONATION GUIDELINES Thank you VERY much for considering donating your gently-used item(s) to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha’s thrift stores. Because the Society of St. Vincent de Paul sells items to support our programs that serve people in need, we cannot accept donations that we cannot sell. A good rule of thumb is “Would I give this item to a member of my family…and would I truly expect them to like it and use it. “Gently-used” and/or “In Good Working Condition” are guideline standards to think about, prior to making an in-kind donation to our SSVP Omaha thrift stores. If you have any questions regarding making such a donation, please call our donation line at 402-341-1688 and someone will get back to you within five business days. GRATEFULLY, WE ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING **
CLOTHING/SHOES – for infants, children, women and men, as long as the items are not soiled, badly-stained, damp, smelly, infested, ripped or otherwise in need of repair.
ACCESSORIES – for women and men, as long as they have been gently-used and are in good condition. HOME DÉCOR – Home décor items should be in good condition and not broken or missing parts. HOUSEHOLD ITEMS – Household items should be in good condition and not broken, missing parts or otherwise unusable. ELECTRONICS – Electronics must be less than 5 years old, in good condition and not broken, missing parts or otherwise unusable.
