Orland Park St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store Opening in January

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago opens a new thrift store in Orland Park at 7010 W. 159th St. (formerly Sears Hardware) at 10 a.m. on January 7, 2015.

“Anyone looking for good bargains and a way to give back to their community should look no further than the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store,” SVdP Chief Executive Officer James D. Lonergan said. “Our Orland Park location will have a powerful impact not only on the people that we work with directly, but also on the larger community as a whole; offering a low-cost, high quality shopping experience as well as employment and volunteer opportunities.”

St. Vincent de Paul is a non-profit organization. All of the proceeds from thrift store sales go directly back into the community to fund the St. Vincent de Paul food pantries and emergency voucher programs.

“Our thrift stores are self-sustaining enterprises and help us provide the basics for human dignity such as food, shelter, and clothing to thousands of people annually. We plan to build six more thrift stores over the next five years so we can better serve the growing number of people who come to us for help,” Lonergan said.

Gently used clothing, shoes, housewares, home décor, books, furniture and much more can be found at low prices in a clean and modern store. Store features include wide shopping aisles, pleasant lighting, and large department signage to help customers find what they need.

Orland Park thrift store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri., and Saturday.

10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The store is accepting item donations and seeking volunteers to help prepare the store for opening day. Please call Thrift Stores Director Margaret Jones at 773.779.6700 to be a part of this exciting endeavor.

Donations can be brought to the drop-off area in the rear of the building. Please do not leave items unattended.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago operates two additional stores at 9321 S. Western Avenue in Chicago and 1125 S. Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville.
