About Our Thrift Stores
Faithful, loyal, servant volunteers give of their time to sort, clean, price, repair, display and sell donated clothing, household goods, books, small appliances, furniture, fixtures and many, many more items. These items may be used, new, antique or vintage, but all the proceeds from their sale are used to help our brothers and sisters in need. The public is welcomed and encouraged to shop at one of the eight Thrift Stores of SVDP. Also, come and shop at Johnstown's specialty shops: Duck-In Boutique, Colonial Center and the Vintage Shop, or Altoona's Specialty shops.  Items that cannot be sold are recycled, bundled and sent to the missions. Other items have been uniquely refurbished or refitted too, for example, provide prosthesis, dentures or glasses.

Although the items are priced in order to meet anyone's pocket book, there are many individuals who cannot afford them. The Society will make every effort to help those in need with the items our stores have on hand. To address larger needs, a Home Visitor will go to the home of a needy person make an assessment and then authorize assistance to supply furniture, appliances or other large household items. SVDP receives no government, United Way or Diocesan funding, therefore, your donations and the sale of merchandise offsets over 50 percent of the costs to support individual needs and the other ministries. 

SVDP is family and will be there to help you, your relatives and your friends. SVDP prays for those in need and shows concern and compassion for all they meet. The volunteers are great people, considerate and ready to take the time to help in the selection of the items one needs.

VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED. IF YOU CAN GIVE EVEN A FEW HOURS A WEEK, CONTACT ANY OF THE STORES LISTED ABOVE. THE PROFITS FROM THESE STORES PROVIDE THE SOCIETY WITH FUNDS TO ASSIST FAMILIES WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH RENT, UTILITIES, MEDICAL EXPENSES AND MANY OTHER BASIC NEEDS.
