** Hold a "Shelter Shower" to collect needed items for the Center

** Donate to or shop at The Shelter Shop

Violence Prevention Center Shelter Shop


The Violence Prevention Center Shelter Shop is a resale shop that sells pre-owned clothing, furniture, and household items in good condition. Because the Shelter Shop is operated primarily by volunteers, the proceeds from the shop help to support the program and services of VPC.

Clients of VPC who are in need of emergency clothing and/or other goods the Shelter Shop has in stock can visit the shop for needed items free of charge.

The Shelter Shop is always in need of volunteers and items for resale. Anyone wishing to donate their time or used items in good condition is asked to please call the Shelter Shop at (618) 234-4704.

The Shelter Shop is located at #2C Bellevue Park Plaza
at the intersection of North Belt West and West Main Street in Belleville.
