History

The St.

Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Santa Fe, New Mexico, plays a vital role in the community, operating as a cornerstone of the organization’s broader mission to combat poverty and homelessness.

The store’s origins trace back to the Vincent de Paul Society, a Catholic organization founded in 1833 in Paris by Saint Vincent de Paul himself.

This society’s core principle is the corporal works of mercy – feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and burying the dead – and the Santa Fe store directly embodies this commitment.

The specific Santa Fe location was established in 1953, initially operating within the basement of St.

Joseph Cathedral.

Recognizing the growing need for affordable goods and the organization’s dedication to providing essential services, the store steadily grew.

It moved to its current location on Canyon Road in 1987.

Throughout its history, the store has been entirely reliant on donations from the community – clothing, furniture, household items, and more – providing a valuable resource for low-income residents, students, and anyone seeking gently used treasures.

The store’s inventory is continuously refreshed through regular donations, ensuring a diverse selection and supporting the Vincent de Paul Society’s continued efforts to offer assistance to those in need within the Santa Fe area.

It’s a deeply ingrained part of the city's charitable landscape.
