Society officials said in a press release on Tuesday they expect the new store will employ between 50 and 55 people, “providing local jobs while supporting St. Vincent de Paul’s mission to serve neighbors in need.” A hiring timeline has not been established, but all jobs will be posted at: www.svdpcincinnati.org.
St. Vincent de Paul Vice President of Stores Jim Wenstrup said the expansion into the Hamilton area will “strengthen our commitment to serving the community.”
“This new store will not only provide affordable shopping and convenient donation opportunities, but also increase access to vital resources for our neighbors,” he said.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Cincinnati spokesperson Anne Jones said last week there is a need for this store as there are a large number of supporters, donors and shoppers in the greater Hamilton area. It would also be more convenient for those who receive vouchers for free items at a St. Vincent de Paul center, such as for furniture, clothing and household items.
When the store opens, it will operate seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
They are going to need donations to help stock the Hamilton store, as stores offer a range of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, and household items, small and large appliances, furniture, and mattresses.
To help with donations, people can drop off at any donation center, and the closest are in Mason and Colerain Twp. There are also numerous drop box areas across the tri-state, including two in Butler County: Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 2550 Millville Ave., in Hamilton, and Sacred Heart Church, 400 Nilles Road, in Fairfield.
