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 landfills. Donated items that come to our stores are repurposed and sold. Unsold clothing items are sent overseas, 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.

IN-KIND DONATION GUIDELINES
Thinking about donating your household items to our SSVP thrifts stores? Thank You! However, please check out our
In-Kind Donation Guidelines, below:


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.

We welcome donations of gently-used clothing and linens as long as the items are not soiled, badly-stained, damp, smelly, infested, ripped or otherwise in need of repair. Furniture and household goods should likewise be in good condition (i.e. not broken, scuffed, ripped, damp, smelly, infested, etc.) Electronics, appliances and fitness equipment should be less than 10 years old and also be in good condition and not broken, missing parts or otherwise unusable.
​GRATEFULLY, WE ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING DONATION ITEMS AT OUR THRIFT STORES:
  • Clothing, shoes, purses, and accessories for women, men, and children.
  • Kitchen items: dishes, flatware, glasses, pots and pans, bakeware, small appliances (toaster ovens, microwaves, coffeemakers, etc.).
  • Major appliances: washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, grills. Must be less than 10 years old, clean, and electric. No gas appliances.
  • Hospital equipment: walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, etc. 
  • Exercise equipment - All except NordicTrack Ski Machines
  • Home goods: linens, rugs, artwork, framed mirrors, baskets, decorative items.
  • Furniture: bedroom sets, living room, dining/family rooms, outdoor furniture, lamps, lighting, etc. 
  • Electronics: computers, monitors, DVD and VCR players, phones, radios, speakers, flat screen televisions less than five years old.
  • Media: books, records, compact discs, DVDs. 
  • Miscellaneous: unopened toiletries, barbecues, working lawnmowers, power tools, sports equipment, functional bicycles, musical instruments, VHS tapes (original copies only).
  • Cars in our vehicle donation program.​
