Joseph’s Coat Resale Shop

A New Beginning at the Caritas Center

Joseph’s Coat is now operating from the Caritas Center, located at 14795 Memorial Dr.  We have grown in size and impact from the 1987 “cramped closet” into a beautiful, boutique-style resale store.

We continue to be dedicated to SJV’s Mission, and our fundamental purpose and policies have not changed. As a ministry within St. John Vianney Catholic Church, we strive to be a community of Living Faith, Changing Lives, and Making a Difference.

Because of our new location, however, some of our operating procedures have changed.  Please note that large donations need to be scheduled ahead of time by calling 281.752.2488.

All donated items should be new or gently used, clean, and in working condition. Donated items should be those you would be comfortable giving to a loved one. Seasonal items are most appreciated.

We accept donations Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and on Saturdays from 11:00 AM  –  1:00 PM.  Please check in at the front desk in the shop before unloading your donations.  Do not leave items outside the door.

With your cooperation, we can make your donations go further and keep our shop looking great! It’s hard to say “no thank you” to a donation, but unfortunately, there are things we just cannot take, not because we don’t want to help you, but because we can’t sell them or give them away to others. The cost to dispose of these items diverts funds that would otherwise support our programs.

Please call us at 281.752.2487 so we may discuss your options with you.

As Pope Francis reminds us:
“Christians never doubt that actions done with love go on to generate joy, that joy is the sister to hope and is capable of breaking down the barriers of fear and opening doors on to a promising future…” A Future Filled with Hope!
