Thrift Store Donation

Support St. Vincent de Paul by donating new or gently used clothes, shoes and other household items to any of our thrift stores in Chicago, Libertyville, and Midlothian.

Our thrift stores offer more than a low-cost, high quality shopping experience for bargain shoppers. The stores also provide an outlet for those with limited means. Each of the stores honors emergency vouchers, allowing those in need to get free clothing, house wares, and furniture. Funds raised through the stores stay in the local community allowing the sponsoring Conferences to pay rent, utilities, and buy food for our friends in need who come to them for help.

For more information or to schedule a donation pickup, please call 773.779.6700 (Cook County) or 847.367.4700 (Lake County).

• Clothing, shoes and accessories for women, men and children
• Kitchen/Dining: dishware, flatware, bake ware, tools, gadgets, small appliances
• Home Décor: linens, decorative accents, artwork, mirrors, rugs, silk flowers, baskets

The Friends of the Poor Benefit

Thank You Vincentian Friends for a Successful Event!

More than 300 Vincentian members, families and friends attended the 5th Annual Friends of the Poor Benefit on Sunday, April 21. Good food ... warm handshakes and hugs ... and lots of good old fashioned friendship and fun filled the ballrooms of Drury Lane Oakbrook.

Funds raised will help support the mission of our Society in that these funds will be used for the Archdiocesan Council of Chicago Special Works Fund. The ADC SWF underwrites the extraordinary needs of the conferences and districts in helping individuals and families. Last year, nearly 684,000 people in Lake and Cook counties felt the expression of friendship through the compassionate person-to-person services of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
