Thrift Store Grows to Fuel Community Aid | Reno News

St. Vincent’s Thrift Store in Reno is doubling down on growth—expanding by nearly 4,000 square feet to hit 18,000 total, fueled by surging demand from back-to-school shoppers and Burning Man crowds. This isn’t just about bigger shelves; it’s a strategic move born from the store’s critical role in funding Catholic Charities’ vital services for 40,000+ people monthly in Northern Nevada, including daily meals and food pantries. The expansion follows a smart pivot: relocating the food pantry to free up space for thrifting, which now powers everything from emergency aid to environmental impact—keeping items out of landfills and offering full-time jobs with benefits to local residents. Every dollar earned helps those in need, while turning secondhand treasures into community lifelines. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
