Thrift store expands to meet needs of hurricane victims
Voted 2005 Thrive Editors Choice for “Best Place to Buy Stuff to Decorate the Inside of Your House,” the Society of St. Vincent de Paul opened its third thrift store in Boise during the last week of September at 2110 S. Broadway Ave.
Deemed “Upscale Resale,” this new shop will have brand named clothing, furniture, trendy décor, and a wide variety of seasonal goods. “We have Halloween Costumes out already – the selection is great!” said Hope Ryan of Community Relations with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
By opening this new store, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will be hiring up to ten people for retail and warehouse work.
All full time jobs come with benefits. “We work very hard to make sure our people never need our services.
It is important to the community that we be an organization with integrity on all levels,” said Ryan. “We will also have part time positions that are great for parents and students.”
St. Vincent de Paul is a drop-site for clothing for the hurricane relief effort. At this time, all donations are used to help displaced families who are relocating to Idaho from the Gulf Coast.
Volunteers are needed to sort clothing and help with the effort. “These relocating families finally have the opportunity to choose what they want to wear; choose what lamp they like; choose what will or won’t work for them in their new home. We offer hundreds of dollars in furnishings clothing and other goods to families,” describes Ryan. “Even after the disaster fades, there will be Idahoans in need – the new store location helps the community meet that need.”
