We Want Your Uniforms! – Uniform Resale Coming up on February 15.
How does the Used Uniform Sale work?
Parents can either donate or sell SVdP uniforms two times each year at our fall and spring uniform sale
To Donate:
Drop off any clean uniforms in good condition at SVdP’s Front Desk marked “Donation” and you’re done! All proceeds will go back to the school.
To Sell:
Please pin a sheet with:
your last name
item type
All shirts & shorts are sold for $5; all pants, plaids and sweatshirts sell for $10.
The items can be dropped off at the front desk during normal business hours.
If your items sell during the sale, they will offset any purchases that you make that sale. If you don’t make any purchases and the proceeds are greater than $25, you will receive a credit in FACTS. If your total is less than $25, we will carry forward the balance to the next sale until we reach a minimum balance of $25. Items that don’t sell will be stored at SVdP in bins and sold at the next sale. However, once your children are no longer attending the school, the clothing is considered a donation to SVdP.
If you have questions or want to get involved with the sales? We always need volunteers. Please contact Kim Abbate at Kim.Abbate@outlook.com or Lauren Josephson at lologott@gmail.com.
Note: Items with the SVdP logo cannot be donated to Goodwill, ARC or other type organizations.
