Overview

Mission

SVDP-Austin's mission work is done by over 1,000 volunteers via home visits and food pantries to provide financial assistance to meet basic needs such as utilities, rent, and other household expenses. We also provide food, transportation passes, grocery gift cards, thrift store vouchers, disaster relief, and loans for rental security deposits, car repairs and predatory loan conversions.

What it reported doing in 2024

The store provides goods and services, along with funding for other outreach programs. The store works in conjunction with other agencies in the area to provide free clothing and affordable household items to those in need through a voucher program. The store relies on the generosity of donors to provide goods and services to those less fortunate in our area. The store accepts clothing, shoes, accessories, collectibles, books, and clean furniture in good condition. We offer a pickup service for large items.
