Society of St. Vincent De Paul — Local services in Avondale

Very clean and well organized store. Prices are really good and they offer discounts and sale days on top of these already low prices making some items as low as $0.99. Clothes are good quality nothing stained or torn. I could see why some might say the customer service isn't all that great because the staff isn't overly friendly. The clerk was professional when she assisted me with entry into a fitting room but she didn't smile nor did she seem pleased to help me however it was my check out experience with this same clerk that earned them the 5 stars. When I went to the counter to get the items I wanted I realized my paycheck hadn't been direct deposited yet so I was really low on money. I apologized and excused myself from the line to go put back almost everything I had intended to buy. I kept 2 bras because I only had the one bra I was currently wearing which was too small for me but it was all I had ever since someone stole all of my things (and yes they took it all even my underwear) while I was experiencing homelessness. I thought I had enough money for them both but when she told me the total I realized I was a little more then $1 short. I apologized to her again and explained I didn't quite have enough money and asked if she could remove the higher priced bra. She asked me how much I had and after I told her what I was able to pay she then put in a discount bringing my total down to about $0.03 cents less then what I had told her I had available. I thanked her quietly while trying to hold back my tears of gratitude because she had no idea just how desolate I'd become over the last several months. I was literally ready to give up because of all the horrible things I had suffered through in such a short amount of time. I literally felt like I had nothing left to offer or give anyone and there wasn't any reason for me to be here anymore but her one simple act of sympathy and unspoken kindness provided me with more then something as basic and simple as clean bras it gave me hope and the strength to just hold on a little longer. I'm still suffering with homelessness and I'm still having a hard time finding a good/steady job but I'm fighting everyday to change my situation and get my family back into a home where we are all safe and warm and it's partly in thanks to someone who just gave me the chance to buy a clean bra. I didn't get her name but the good Lord above knows who she is and I silently thank her each time I wash one bra while wearing the other clean one. You have no idea just how much clean clothes that fit you will help to lift your spirits until you don't have these things. We take so much for granted but after experiencing this hardship my family and I don't take the simple things for granted anymore. Thank God for places like this. I pray the donations continue to come in so this place can continue to help those in need like myself. God bless...

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I scheduled a donation pickup with a mattress and several other pieces of furniture. When they arrived they said they couldn't take the mattress because it had one stain on the bottom of it, but that they were going to take everything else - ok no problem as long as they refunded the $50 i paid for mattress pick up, which they did. However, when I went outside later they had left almost everything, after directly telling me multiple times that they would take everything except the mattress. In the end they lied to me, and left a pile of perfectly good furniture in my driveway. Do not recommend getting a pick up it will probably end up being a waste of...

This thrift store is amazing! I consider myself a pretty thrifty shopper and I gotta tell you that this place hands down qqqqthe best I've ran across in a long time. I also run a small 2nd hand shop (online) and this is my go to when inventory is low. The deals are amazing if you have the time and patience to look through the endless isles of treasures. I honestly wouldn't be able to keep my business afloat without them. And the employees are all extremely helpful and...
