Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Santa Maria del Mar Conference
The Nearly New Thrift Store will be holding it’s third-annual “All Things Christmas” sale Nov. 17-21, at Santa Maria del Mar Church Parish Hall, 915 N. Central Ave., Flagler Beach, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks and social distancing protocols will be enforced.
All proceeds go to support the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Santa Maria del Mar Conference, with charitable activities helping support the needy in Flagler County. This event will feature a selection of the finest Christmas items, including but not limited to wreaths, ornaments, jewelry, cards, decorative items, tablecloths, table scarves, and those “unique” Christmas T-shirts and sweaters that we all enjoy. “All Things Christmas” will include hundreds of items at thrift store prices.
While this is the third-annual event, this year it has expanded to a five-day event to allow for social distancing. The expanded timeframe also means that new merchandise can be added daily.
Many one-of-a-kind items will sell quickly and decorative items will vary from whimsical to religious.
“We encourage shoppers to bring their masks and their friends and neighbors. Come shop for gifts or for something special to make this Christmas special, and remember, our inventory changes frequently so stop by more than once,” said volunteer Alice Serra.
The Nearly New Thrift Store sells “nearly new” clothing and other items such as glassware, decorative pillows, lamps, books and purses. For more information, stop by The “Nearly New” Thrift Store at 400 S. Daytona Ave., Flagler Beach, or call the store at 386-439-0071. The store is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This has become an annual fundraising event supporting the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Santa Maria del Mar Conference, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit international voluntary organization in the Catholic Church. Among its varied efforts to offer material help, the Society’s Nearly New Thrift Store sells donated goods at a low price to raise money for the struggling families in Flagler County. This year, COVID-19 has caused an increase in the needy families and individuals in Flagler County. There are hundreds of requests for help with basic living needs, such as utility bills, and emergency food needs.
