St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores will take the following steps to maintain proper santitation in our facilities:
- Cleaning and santititizing heavily-used areas in our stores.
- Providing disposable gloves and hand santitizers for our employees.
- Offering hand santizer at the entrance of our store.
As you prepare to take care of your own health, please consider providing supplies to assist those in need. We are accepting donations of liquid
hand soap, sanitizer, toilet paper, and paper towels for our homeless shelter’s residents as well as for the surrounding Skid Row community. Donations can be dropped off at one of our
two store locations
or made
online.
SVdPLA takes pride in being a warm and welcoming environment and we encourage you to do your part:
- Stay home when you are sick, except to seek medical care.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol as a secondary option.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth, or face.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze with your sleeve or an elbow. If you use a tissue, dispose of it immediately.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Avoid shaking hands and adopt other forms of greeting.
- Get a Flu Shot if you have not done so this season
Thank you,
