Donate Goods
Thank you for choosing St. Vincent de Paul for your donation of new or gently used clothing, home goods, and furniture. We also accept vehicle donations. Our thrift store is one of our largest fundraising programs, and we rely on your generosity.
HOW TO DONATE
To donate goods to our thrift store, visit the thrift store nearest you or schedule a donation pickup.
Donation Hours:
Monday - 9 AM to 3 PM
Tuesday - 9 AM to 3 PM
Wednesday - 9 AM to 3 PM
Thursday - 9 AM to 3 PM
Friday - 9 AM to 3 PM
Saturday - 10 AM to 1 PM
Sunday - Closed
Or, you can place items in one of our many donation bins throughout the Fredericksburg area.
Because the St. Vincent de Paul Society sells items to support our programs, we cannot accept donated items that we cannot sell. Please do not donate items that are ripped, stained, broken, missing parts, or otherwise unusable or in need of repair. All electronics and appliances should be less than 10 years old and in working order. A good rule of thumb is “Would I give this to a neighbor?” To determine the value of your donation, please refer to the IRS Donor’s Guide to Thrift Shop Donations.
