St Vincent de Paul Society of Appleton

Assistance program - this year our voucher program provided $87,403 in merchandise, furniture and clothing at no cost to program participants. The bed program, which provides new beds for individuals and families in need, served 105 individuals this year, totaling $23,125. The conference assistance program, which helps people with rent, utilities, food, transportation, medical bills, child care and other unique requests, provided $71,712 in financial aid this year.

Thrift store - we operate a thrift store that is located in Appleton, Wisconsin. Each year, volunteers and employees sort, clean, and repair donated merchandise to resell to the public or provide to individuals/families in need at no cost to the household. The program is able to divert potential waste from local landfills while passing along savings to customers and providing essential basic need items, such as clothing, to qualifying individuals/families. Profits from this program help fund the organization's assistance programs.
