The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) National Council has partnered nationally with Upright Labs to strengthen its mission through expanded secondhand and e-commerce operations. This partnership will equip SVdP’s nationwide thrift network with cutting-edge technology, expert support, and new opportunities to fuel their charitable programs.

SVdP of the United States provides more than $1.7 billion in aid to over 5 million people each year through its local programs and services. A key part of that impact comes from its nationwide network of thrift stores. With Upright Labs’ tailored e-commerce solutions, more SVdP stores will have the tools to grow and scale their online stores and diversify their revenue streams.

Proven Success with the SVdP National Store

In 2024, the SVdP National Store in Avondale, AZ partnered with Upright Labs to modernize its e-commerce operations. By streamlining workflows and optimizing inventory processes, the store achieved remarkable results—generating $7,963 in online revenue within just its second full month.

“Our work with Upright Labs at the SVdP National Store showed us what’s possible,” said Jeffrey Beamguard, Store Support Director at St. Vincent de Paul’s National Store. “Starting the process seemed overwhelming in the beginning. We saw outstanding results within the second month of using their system, and it quickly became clear that their approach could benefit more SVdP’s thrift stores across the country. We’re excited for this partnership to help more SVdP locations succeed online. Starting your e-comm business cannot be a ‘hobby’ for someone wanting to increase their sales. This requires full-time dedication and the right person to do what is required to make the business profitable.”
