- Future Home of St. Vinnies in Traverse City
The Society of St Vincent de Paul has negotiated and executed a lease agreement for a new location at 1207 Woodmere Avenue, Traverse City, MI 49686 at the corner of Woodmere and Baldwin Street, next door to Hamilton Fabrics and Fitness Factor.
The exact date of the grand re-opening of the thrift store is still to be determined. Executive Director Tim Moeggenberg states, “We will open the new store sometime in July and sooner if possible. Although we have done a pretty good job of providing assistance during our transition period, we are really excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for St. Vinnies and our ability to help the community.
