Five Ways to Help St. Vinnies without Spending a Dime

Monetary donations aren't the only way you can help our mission. Here are five ways you can support St. Vinnies without spending a dime!

Leave a review 

Do you like shopping at St. Vinnies? Have you had a positive experience with our staff? Has St. Vinnies helped you in any way? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, we’d love to hear from you! Leaving online reviews on either Facebook, Google or Yelp, can help us tremendously. Not only does it help build trust for people in the area, but it helps increase our visibility online.  

Give us a Shoutout 

Whether it be online or in person, share your experiences at St. Vinnies with friends and family! Word of mouth is the best exposure there is, and your friends and family view you as a trusted source and thus are likely to take your recommendations. Help us spread the word to your inner circle! 

Become a Volunteer 

As a volunteer, you can benefit personally by finding a new sense of purpose and meeting new people all while also helping your community. It’s a win-win situation! At St. Vinnies, we rely on our volunteers to help with our thrift store operations. From sorting and pricing donations to keeping the retail floor tidy, were always in need of more helping hands. Grab a friend (or three) and sign up to volunteer at our thrift store!  

Applications can be found here! 

Donate Material Goods 

We welcome your donations of new and gently used items to sell in our Tacoma thrift store. If you have any clothing you no longer wear, furniture it’s time to part with or household goods that are collecting dust, we can take them off your hands! Proceeds from thrift store sales benefit individuals and families in our community, plus we provide nearly $90,000 in in-kind vouchers to our thrift store to supply clothing and household goods to our neighbors in need.   

Donations can be dropped off Tuesday – Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. View the complete list of items we accept here! 

Share our Posts on Social Media 

Yep, that’s right. Helping St. Vinnies can be as easy as sharing one of our posts on social media. While you may know about us and our mission, your friends or followers may not. When you share our posts, you help expand the reach of the post which ultimately helps raise awareness of St. Vinnies and the work we do in Pierce County.  

 

Of course, we would never turn away a monetary donation. If you feel inspired to give to St. Vinnies aside from these five ways, you can donate here. As always, we appreciate all of your generosity and support! Together we can help our neighbors in need.
