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.

Our store is happy and waiting to accept your donations of infant, children, and adult clothing, furniture and household goods. Donations are tax-deductible with write-offs ranging from $2 for a shirt to $1,000 for a complete bedroom set - and everything in between. Simply search on-line for charitable donation value guides.
