Please visit the new page to apply.
St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County (SVdP) diverts household waste from landfills by recycling and reusing through it's two thrift stores. Clothing, kitchenware, furniture, and other goods are donated to SVdP, where they will be sold. Revenue generated from SVdP stores funnels directly back into the programs offered at SVdP’s West Oakland direct service campus. Our two Alameda County Thrift Stores provide consumers with gently used goods at rock-bottom prices, as well as a responsible resource for recycling. In addition, the thrift stores offer transitional jobs for those with employment barriers.
SVdP's Fremont Thrift Store needs your help for a one time painting project to make the store more inviting. Your volunteer hours can make such a difference in the lives of our neighbors!
A team of 4-6 people is needed for 4 hours. The project can be scheduled for any day of the week between the hours of 10am and 5pm.

Description
A non-profit, community-based organization, St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County (SVdP) offers emergency and social safety net services to its neighbors, relying on a vast network of volunteers to carry out our mission. We operate a free dining room, thrift stores, an e-waste recycling program, men and women's drop-in centers, workforce and culinary training programs and much more. St. Vincent de Paul serves everyone regardless of origin, creed, or affiliation. Our staff and volunteers are a diverse and talented group, representing a wide range of experiences and perspectives.
St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam, a 20-year-old student of the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Similar groups began to form in Paris, then spread throughout France, and eventually throughout the world.
Volunteers, known as Vincentians, are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility, and sharing. St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County was founded in 1938, and has been serving the community of Oakland ever since.
