Every day, families across Los Angeles walk through our doors looking for a fresh start. A new outfit for a job interview. A couch to fill an empty living room. A winter coat for a child who doesn’t have one. What makes those moments possible is simple: people like you, clearing out what they no longer need and passing it forward.
At St. Vincent de Paul Los Angeles, your donations don’t just stock shelves. They fund our programs, support our services, and keep our mission alive in this city. And right now, we need your help more than ever.

How to Donate
We make it easy to give.

Schedule a pickup and we’ll come to you. Clearing out a whole room? Moving? Downsizing? Our pickup service takes the hassle out of donating so there’s no reason to hold back.
Shop While You’re Here
Donating is just one reason to stop by. Our thrift stores are full of quality finds at prices that are hard to beat – and every purchase you make supports the same mission as every donation you bring in. No sales tax. Great selection. A good cause every time you check out.
Whether you’re hunting for a vintage gem, refreshing your wardrobe, or furnishing a new space, shopping at SVdPLA is one of the easiest ways to support your community without spending more than you planned.
Why It Matters Right Now
Our programs depend on the revenue generated through our stores. When donations are low, our ability to serve is directly impacted. Families waiting for assistance, neighbors in need of resources, communities counting on us – all of it connects back to what walks through our donation doors.
If you have been holding onto items you no longer use, this is your sign. Someone in Los Angeles needs exactly what you have sitting in your garage.
