According to the National Retail Federation, back to school shopping is expected to reach record levels with families spending approximately $424 on back to school clothing and shoes for children in elementary through high school. Back-to-college spending for dorm supplies and clothing is expected to hit $373.
As the first day of the new school year in Washoe County is August 14, 2023, parents are already shopping. St. Vincent’s Thrift Stores offer a wide variety of gently used clothing, shoes and outer wear perfect for back-to-school at a fraction of the cost. Socks and underwear are $.50 each and clothing is $3 per item. The stores offer apparel for any occasion including school and extra-curricular activities as well as outdoor gear such as bikes and skate boards.
“Our Thrift Stores are a great place to pick-up gently used items for school, after school activities and weekends at a fraction of the cost many will pay in big box stores,” said Marie Baxter, CEO of Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada. “When donating and purchasing items in the St. Vincent’s Thrift Stores, you are helping to provide a quality hot-meal to our most vulnerable population as well as second chance employment jobs for the residents at our Battle Born Housing Plus program. One hundred percent of the profit is reinvested into our poverty assistance programs. ”

Glendale Avenue in Sparks and is open Monday through Saturday: 9:00 am – 7:00 pm and Sunday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.
