New look coming soon to Society's L.A. Store

In an effort to further educate the public about the Society's local charitable programs, store sales and more, customers at St. Vincent de Paul's Los Angeles store at 210 N. Avenue 21 in Los Angeles will soon see modern technology take front and center stage.

Eight flat screen televisions (seven 40" sets throughout the large store and a 46" set placed near the cash registers) are currently being installed. While shopping, customers will soon be able to view Society public service announcements, short videos, upcoming events, store sales, etc.

The Society's goal is to enhance our customer's shopping experience, while keeping them informed about its latest events and news.

Directions to the Society's store in Los Angeles can be found on the right side of this blog. Info: 323-224-6280.

Shopping SVdP Thrift Stores impact lives locally!

St. Vincent de Paul's thrift stores in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oxnard sell usable donated items, which are picked up free of charge throughout the year to help fund the Society's various local charitable programs.

Approximately 215,000 individuals visited the stores last fiscal year. The value of clothing, furniture and other household donations collected was $2.8 million. Revenue received from sales was more than $3.9 million.

In part, the donations helped shoppers on fixed incomes, assisted more than 2,000 children, women and men in extreme-need through a St. Vincent de Paul supported free-distribution program and sustained jobs for 140 employees in tough economic times.

Quote:

"Being a single mother of five children, ages 2-10, and having a $9 an hour job, the St. Vincent de Paul store helps me and my children very much. Everything in the store is reasonably priced, which helps my budget. It allows me to get my children clothes, furniture in their room, toys to play with and even a vehicle (to that, my son says 'woohoo...no more walking to school')."
