St. Vincent de Paul Store to hold open house”Most people think of the St. Vincent de Paul Store as assisting the poor or people when they are burned out of their home with clothing,” said Frank Novotney, St. Vincent de Paul board of directors president.
However, there is much more to the local St. Vincent de Paul Store. The St. Vincent de Paul Store at 70 N. Mount Vernon Ave. in Uniontown will hold an open house from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 25.
Ray Polaski, St. Vincent de Paul board member, said, “Yes, we help people in need, but we also offer true bargains at bargain-basement prices. Where can a person buy hot brand clothing names for as low as 50 cents or retro clothing for the same amount?”
Through the support of more than 300 volunteers following the spirit of charity, St. Vincent de Paul Store is able to keep prices low.
St. Vincent De Paul Store uses the revenues from the sale of items in the store to provide help and hope for those who are in need.
The Vincentian volunteers also assess the need of individuals and provide them with assistance from everything from food to assistance to keeping heat and other utilities from being shut off.
“Discover the hidden side of the St. Vincent de Paul Store,” said Roy Sarver, executive director.
“There are many services that we offer which the public is completely unaware. At the open house, the public will be able to enjoy free food and chances to win prizes as well as tour behind the scenes.”
