Programs

1. Store - by having thrift stores in coeur d'alene and the silver valley, svdp has not only been an inexpensive shopping alternative for those in need, but we've also been the place to get a great deal while making our community a better place to live. Items donated to all of our stores not only allow us to give quality goods to low-income community members, but proceeds from sales of these items has given us the opportunity to start and help support two emergency shelters, 1 commercial kitchen with showers and laundry, 5 transitional housing facilities, and other outreach programs for the homeless - all while providing jobs to more than 104 part-time and full-time employees. By donating your quality used goods to us, you are helping us provide many of these social service and housing programs as well as helping us keep usable items out of the community landfill and out of our environment.
