Your Donations Have a Direct Impact
The St. Vincent de Paul Ruskin Thrift Store serves East Hillsborough County providing material aid, encouragement and spiritual support to poor and low-income families as well as families in crisis. All proceeds from the SVdP Thrift Store go directly to families in our community.
