The lady's are so nice that work here and they do Alot for the less fortunate in the neighborhood and for the community. Great stuff and the best prices. Donate your stuff to them because they deserve it how much they help others in need

I'm homeless and I went and got a voucher from start me up. I went to get a blanket and I couldn't even get a used blanket for $15. They said 25 firm and I cannot put it on my voucher. You know how many homeless people go in there and are looking for a blanket or clothing and they can't even get a outfit with $15. This is the most expensive Christian thrift shop I have ever been to .. how can they put FIRM when they got it donated.

Good place to buy 2nd hand clothing and kitchen utensils, cooking appliances and all sorts of household items. Everything is selling for rock bottom prices.

This store was my go to for great little finds. The staff always pleasant and on many occasions I was privy to staff assisting customers with things like new clothing, bedding, and other household items. I love a good deal and St.Vincent was a place where 10 $ could go far. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. Recently it has been under new management and the pricing has raised 10$ will maybe get you a oair of pants and a t-shirt not long sleeved because that would go over the 10$. They do not make any price dealings/negotiations. Now keep in mind this store gets its merchandise by way of donation from people in our community and or local businesses. 2 separate occasions When I was trying to get my shop on as I walked to the register I had these wooden stands usually they're for holding a 5/7 or 8/10 size photos on a table I was going to use them for Our Ipads as a stand when viewing videos anyways the "manager " (unaware at time) approaches me and says "oh no hunny, those aren't for sale I use them at my house, there not even supposed to be out here" I was kinda takin back but didn't read into it much, 2nd occasion I have a- Get this Michael Jackson Album in my hand and I was showing my husband and giggling and Thinking could be a great collector item to hold onto . Priced 5$ it was mine- atleast I thought..... How she heard me talking beats me but over she comes and says "Hold on a sec here , Michael Jackson 5$ this isn't the price ! More like 50$ , I laughed thinking she was fooling around as she took it out of my hand as to look for something on the album , I went to reach nicely for it back while saying I know Sweet find right . Then she yells I don't know who is changing my prices but when I find out --- Then she's like this isn't 5$ You know this is a Collectors item do you no how much this is worth these days ,People pay big bucks for these at auctions!" So I ask but for real though if 5$ was wrong price how about 10$ And I think I really wasnt getting it just then. Until she says no, no ; you know what we cant sell this-- I really dont even know who out it out here .......... Now I'm just speechless, Slowlt remembering my wooden picture stands That " weren't for sale" Im not big on making an issue in stores but I couldnt get out of my head thinking ok was it wrong price lady or not supposed to be sold, leaving me to wonder if all those donations being donated ever actually all make it to the store floor or just to the backseat of this managers car . True story, Thanks for reading

Oh my, $1.00 tops when I visited, the cleanest 2nd hand pot with lid I've ever found at a thrift store, nightgowns at reasonable prices and the nicest staff. Can't wait to go back! It's a gem.
