Description

Description (Service) A community resource centre that supports people in the application of social justice principles. Services provided include:
  • a money-less second hand store
  • a self attesting food pantry
  • help for community members navigating paths with addiction, mental illness, hunger and food insecurity and other struggles, to access supportive resources in the community. Assist people to access technologies to enable attendance at Zoom court appearances and other appointments.
Organization has a volunteer team of approximately 30 people. Do not do reference or background checks for volunteers, to give people a safe and supportive environment in which to reintegrate and re-establish in the community and/or develop a current work/volunteering history.

Moneyless thrift store is a conduit for what the community wants to give to their people. All items are donated and include good, clean gently used items that people would use everyday. In season clothing (no rips, stains or broken zippers), basic housewares (pots, plates, bowls, can openers), linens (blankets, sheets, towels, kitchen linens and curtains), children's toys/books/DVDs. Please DO NOT drop items off when we are NOT OPEN! It is so important that the community help us to keep our location looking as tidy as the other storefronts!

"Give & Take" stand is a stand out front with food on it that is free for the taking. No ID or information is required for the self attesting food pantry and it can be accessed once a week. Hours - Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat 10 am-2 pm, Thu 2 pm-6 pm.
