stuff, sustainably

we've been recycling for decades

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix has continued to be a trusted and caring friend to communities in central and northern Arizona since its inception in 1946.

For our neighbors in need, we offer solutions – a nourishing meal for a hungry family, a desperately-needed job referral for a single mother and necessary dental care to a child with uninsured, working parents.

For the community, St. Vincent de Paul offers something equally important; a place where people can make a difference. With the help of thousands of donors and volunteers each year, we are able to reach out and improve our communities - one life at a time.

Need a little more closet space? Give us the clothes from the back of your closet! Each day our trucks travel throughout the community picking up donated household goods and clothing. We've been recycling for decades!

supplying our thrift stores and ministries

St. Vincent de Paul makes it easy to give – and give to others.

Your donation of new and gently used household goods and clothing helps fund our programs for those in need in your community. Items can be dropped off at any of our 17 thrift stores throughout central and northern Arizona or call (602) 266-HOPE to schedule a pickup in the Phoenix metro area. We make use of all of your donations. Items we can't sell in our stores are sold to recyclers, so really nothing ever goes to waste.

The environmental "green" movement is the hot topic these days. St. Vincent de Paul has actually been "going green" for more than 60 years. With the help of our tireless volunteers, who donated over 21,500 hours in our processing center in 2010, we can continue to reach out to those in need in central and northern Arizona.

turn your trinkets to treasure

Our "As Is Auction" is held Monday through Friday beginning at 7:30 am at the processing center yard located at 420 W Watkins Road. No auctions are held on weekends or holidays or at the discretion of St. Vincent de Paul.

Remember, this is an "As Is" auction. All sales are final and no refunds or exchanges will be given. Admission to the auction is $3 per day for bidders. A limit of 4 helpers may enter for free after the auction is complete. Each bidder is required to have a bidder badge number, which can be purchased for an annual fee of $25. Replacement badges are available for a fee - $5 for the first replacement, $10 each additional. Bidder badges will be used as a bid card during the auction. Your badge must be visible at all times. The buyer assumes responsibility for all items purchased. All merchandise must be paid for in full on the day of purchase and prior to loading for removal. Bidders are responsible for having all purchased merchandise removed from St. Vincent de Paul property by no later than 12:30 pm on the day of purchase. Anything left on the premises after 12:30 pm will be disposed of by St. Vincent de Paul. No exceptions. For safety and liability reasons, no children are allowed in the auction area. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
