State Street Store is beginning construction soon.

Throughout the State Street Thrift Store renovation project, our focus will be on modernizing and enhancing the building’s appeal. Implementing a new facade will attract more traffic and sales, supporting our mission. Additionally, the rebranding of the thrift store will increase awareness, enabling us to better serve those in need.

After much careful consideration, we have made the decision to close the St. Vincent de Paul Caldwell Thrift Store due to declining sales. While this was not an easy choice, it is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Idaho and our ability to continue serving those in need. Final day the store will be open is Saturday Feb. 22nd. Learn more about the Caldwell Store closure and 50% off sale.
