Collecting Clothing and Goods for St. Vincent’s Thrift Stores

Collecting Clothing & Goods for St. Vincent’s Thrift Stores

Drop Off Your Kids|Drop Off Your Donations
We bring a truck to the school campus and provide materials and donation attendants. As parents drop off their kids, they can also drop off their donations. We take the donations to one of our stores that same day.

Organized Class Clothing Drives
Schools can run a Donation Drive Competition or Campaign for a specific amount of time (two weeks, for example). SVdP can schedule pick-ups to get the donations on set days or pick up all the donations at the end of the competition or campaign.

Service Work at St. Vincent’s Georgetown Food Bank and Community Service Center
We work with the teacher in advance to divide the participating students into groups to tour and work with our struggling neighbors at our Georgetown Food Bank and Community Service Center. All activities are supervised and directed by our staff members in concert with the teachers and participating parents.

On their field trip at St. Vincent de Paul, students receive:
(1) Briefing of St. Vincent de Paul’s programs and a video overview with Q& A; (2) Supervised tours of Food Bank, Recycling Center, & Council Office, Supervised hands-on service to the poor in our Food Bank; (3) Discussion about perceptions of poverty in general and their experience at St. Vincent de Paul.
