Thrift shop will help fund St. Vincent de Paul Society’s goal to ‘help those most in need’

The distribution center for the St. Vincent de Paul Society’s Indianapolis Council monopolizes one end of the 1200 block of East Maryland Street near downtown. Inside the late 19th-century former mattress factory, old bricks lie in piles on the floor. Gaping holes exist where glass windows stood, and sunlight filters through the drapery of dust in the air. These sights are not the death knell for the distribution center. Rather, they are signs of new life as the council prepares the building in order to open Indianapolis’ first-ever St. Vincent de Paul resale store—“Mission 27 Resale”—in October. (Page 1)
