The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has operated a thrift shop for 14 years at their current location and for well over two decades in Sunset Park. The thrift store has been offering low cost clothing, books, children’s toys, canned foods, house wares, electronics and other donated items from local businesses and individuals. Serving a variety of charitable organizations, it also accepts vouchers for referrals from a variety of charity and social service programs in Brooklyn.

At the end of March, this will come to an end as the shop closes its doors and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul moves its operations to Queens.

This leaves the Sunset Park/Bay Ridge area, which in the past boasted of at least half a dozen such establishments, with only one. The sole standout, the Salvation Army Store on Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge is slated to close later in the Spring.

In an area with a strong influx of new immigrants and a large contingent of working class families, such an establishment is a great alternative in bargain shopping and a valuable service to the community.

What can be done to save the store? First, please sign this petition asking that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul reconsider the store’s closure.

Thank you for your support!
