You’ve probably passed the signs of our Thrift Stores countless times, or seen one of our trucks out on the road collecting donations. Chances are, you probably haven’t given them much thought as you go about your day. But for many people on Long Island, our thrift stores have become an important part of their lives. For some, struggling to make ends meet; the Society’s Thrift Stores are a place where they can find clothing, furniture, home goods, and other items at prices they can afford.
Our thrift stores depend on the donation of gently used clothing, furniture, and household items to help people in need. With the high cost of living on Long Island and the growth of the working poor, people need an affordable alternative to help furnish their homes and clothe their families. Neighbors in need, can access clothing and furniture vouchers to redeem at the stores by working with their local parish conference.
All revenue generated from sales is used to continue serving those in need throughout our community. Donations can be made directly to our Thrift Stores or through our recognizable green clothing bins, including supermarkets and parishes around Long Island.
