🚧Construction Update!🚧

The SSVP Thrift Store at 143 Wellington St. will be closed Thursday, September 24 through Saturday, September 26 while we get some work done behind the scenes. 🔨

We’ll be back open and ready to welcome you on Tuesday, September 29! Donations are being accepted on Saturday, September 26 AND Wednesday, September 30. 🙏

Thanks so much for your patience — see you soon! 💙

🛒HELP US BRING OUR CARTS HOME!🛒

Our black shopping carts have gone wandering — and we’d love to have them back! Look for the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Brant logo on the handle. (If the label’s been peeled off, it may just say “Sears” underneath — those are ours too!)

If you’ve spotted one (or several 👀) in your neighbourhood, please return them to:
📍 St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, 143 Wellington St., Brantford

No reward, no questions asked — we just want our carts back so we can keep serving our community! 🙏

Thank you for helping us out! 💙
