What We Do

St. Vinnies promotes neighbors helping neighbors. We are active participants and supporters of various community organizations and programs such as the Hunger Prevention Partnership, Empty Bowls, Dressed to Work and Portage County Administrators Volunteer Association. Volunteers from the Portage County Retired Seniors Program and Community Industries work with us in our thrift store.

We also provide on-the-job skills and work experience to people from the Opportunity Development Center, Midstate Independent Living Consultants, W-2 and the Community Service program.

We believe in educating the community about the benefits of volunteer experiences. Our store has been rewarded by being able to work with  youth from many community organizations including - the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, Teen Leadership Group of Portage County, local high school and college (UWSP) students and various church groups.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the heart and soul of St. Vinny’s. Without them, we would not be able to provide the services or reach as many people as we do. Our volunteers contribute their time and talents by working in our thrift store and food pantry. If you have extra time and are looking for an enjoyable and rewarding volunteer experience, please consider us. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate volunteers under the age of 18. We have flexible positions in the following department:

• Clothing – Men, women, teens, childrens, toddler, infant
• House Wares
• Toys
• Linens
• Electronics
• Books

Various other volunteer positions are available to match your talents!  We would love to have you as a volunteer.  Please feel free to call us at (715) 344-7395 to inquire about these opportunities.
