This spot in the plaza in Apollo has been many different things since my youth, this though has to…read morebe the best. I've always found they have a lot of quality items and a great "vintage" array. This location was no exception. While the space is small, it is completely packed to the gills with items with that familiar semi-musty thrift store smell. When I say packed I mean, items under racks, on top of racks, and clearly a very full back room waiting to be stocked. Also, THE PRICES. Dear sweet Christmas-y lord. I've never paid so little for so many things at a thrift store. The catch, cash only and Apollo isn't exactly a wash with banks for you to find your ATM. Make sure to have some on you. The dressing room is big and the women working seemed to really love their jobs. I love St V de P with all of my cold heart.

I had the pleasure of volunteering here recently. I have volunteered throughout the city at…read moreseveral different nonprofits in the city and I have to say that this is one that probably touches more lives than any other in the city. What they do here is not a small feat. What goes into to what they accomplish here is many man hours of a dedicated workforce. On top of those that are employed this place also depends on the many that walk through those doors and chip in whenever they can. While here I was told that some of the volunteer days that they have planned are booked months in advance. The facility is top notch and runs like a well oiled machine. However they have said that they have already outgrown this facility space. Even though that may be the case, they don't let that stop their mission. The families that the GPCFB reach are many and without them would not be able to maintain a home life that is perceived as normal. What little you can give is greatly appreciated and there are donation bins inside the front doors. Did you know that they get more donations for items that are considered junk food than healthy food items? That trail mix does seem nutritious, but what really helps them out was that fruits, vegetables, meat and the like.
