Visit our Thrift Stores

Our thrift stores in LA and Long Beach have brand-new and gently-used clothes, shoes, accessories, housewares, furniture, appliances, refrigerators, stoves, mattresses, electronics, DVDs, VHS, LPs, bikes, books, exercise equipment and even cars.

We have dressing rooms, restrooms, lots of parking, and a clean store with friendly staff.

Bring a bag of donation items with you!  You can drop it in the bins by the door. Also, bring a snack or get fruit or a hot dog from the vendor outside. Our store is so large you’ll need a snack to keep shopping.

Your shopping serves the poor and homeless in Southern California.  St. Vincent de Paul’s LA Council has 2,500 volunteers serving an average of 200,000 disadvantaged people a year with food, clothing, furniture, appliances, rental, bill-paying and other forms of assistance. We also operate food pantries, soup kitchens, a camp for disadvantaged kids and a homeless program for men on Skid Row.

We are a part of the Catholic, international St. Vincent de Paul Society, founded in 1833 in Paris, France, with over a million volunteers in 150 countries around the world, serving the poor of any religion free of charge.
