Clear the Clutter. Help a Neighbor.

A Convenient Way to Donate and Help Local Neighbors in Need

Do bags and boxes of donations keep riding around in your car, or sit in a corner of your home, because you never seem to have time to drop them off? We have a fast, convenience and inexpensive option for you to consider.

Through ReSupply’s partnership with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, donors can easily schedule a home pickup for gently used clothing and small household items. Donations totaling five bags or boxes or fewer can be picked up by an Uber courier, often within an hour. With an average cost of approximately $35 per pickup, this service offers a convenient option for those who are unable to transport their donations or do not have time to visit a drop-off location.

Donated items are delivered to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, located at 7010 W. 159th Street in Orland Park. There, the donations continue to make an important difference in our community.

Neighbors in Need who receive assistance from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul may visit the store and select essential clothing, furniture, and household items at no cost to them. Items purchased by other thrift store shoppers also generate much-needed funds that help provide rent, utility, food, transportation, and other forms of emergency assistance.

Every donation has the opportunity to help twice. First by providing much needed items and again by supporting programs that help local individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.
