Saw your question about the St Vincent de Paul Society's drop-off location and thought I'd tell you where the Bellaire one is.
I didn't know if you were thinking of the big church on Bellaire at Buffalo Speedway, but that's not where the thrift store is.
The thrift store is at 5236 Cedar in Bellaire. I walk by there 3-4 times a month.
Cedar is a short little street just one block north of Bellaire Blvd., between Rice Ave and Chimney Rock. If you know where the Bellaire Triangle is (Bellaire/Bissonnet) and the Randall's Store, there is an H-E-B store across Bissonnet.
That H-E-B is one block east of the St Vincent de Paul thrift store.
If you're coming eastbound (like from W Loop 610 S) or westbound (like from SW Fwy) on Bellaire Blvd, you turn north on Ferris St. and StVdP store is one block up, on the corner at Cedar and Ferris. Hope you can help them and they can help you.
You probably should call them first, because they got inundated with Katrina donations and were having a moratorium for a little while.
