The St. Vincent de Paul Stores of Austin, Inc. will open a new north location with the recent acquisition of The Storehouse, a non-profit thrift store in Round Rock. The store is located at 1601 S. IH 35, #305. The Storehouse had been in operation since 2002, the creation of Tim and Chris Abels, who saw the need for a store that could provide basic needs assistance serving the North Austin area. After a job-related relocation to Portland, Oregon, the Abels were looking for a business to take over the store. They approached the St. Vincent de Paul Stores of Austin, Inc., which currently operates a successful thrift store in the popular SoCo district of South Austin, to consider the opportunity. Transfer of ownership took place on June 1st, with the new store owners enthusiastically embracing the challenge of furthering their own mission of upholding the teaching of the Catholic Church through the method developed by St. Vincent de Paul, to serve each needy person as we would Christ Himself. As a Christian community, we respect the dignity and needs of each other as together we strive for excellence in service to the poor.
The SVdP Store, Round Rock location is open Monday thru Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Donations of gently used furniture, clothing, and household items, along with art, collectables, and toys are accepted during regular business hours. Please call 238-6737 to arrange large item pick-ups. The SVdP Store on South Congress is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
