Periodically we offer items of high intrinsic value for sale to the public that are of little or no value in filling the needs of the poor.

Antiques, special event clothing, art work and unique furniture are examples of items in a typical Estate Sale.

The funds generated by the Estate Sale are used to purchase high demand items for distribution to the needy.

The Estate Sale is organized and operated by an all volunteer staff so that 100% of all revenue from the sale goes to help the poor.

This Estate Sale will be held at the distribution center. The distribution center is located at 1201 E. Maryland St. Indianapolis IN 46202.

Come visit our Estate Sale and pick up some really unique items you're not likely to find elsewhere and help the poor in the process.

The fifth annual walk to support the ministries of the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVdP) will be held on Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 2:00 pm (rain or shine).

To learn more about the Walk, sign up as a walker, or make an on-line pledge to a walker, please see the website: http://www.SVDPfriendsofthepoorWalk.org/
