The newLIFE Thrift Store may be closed, but the volunteer-run business has still found a way to support another worthy cause.
The store’s latest donation of $6,050 to the Indwell project – the NeighbourLink-led initiative to bring 150 supportive housing units to the community to help address homelessness – marks more than $26,000 donated to nine different registered charitable organizations since opening June 1, 2020, said volunteer George Flikweert.

A legion of volunteers â mostly seniors â have worked over the last 15 years to send more than 125 tractor-trailer loads of food, clothing, medical supplies, wheelchairs, bicycles and school supplies to developing nations.
John and Sandra Van Raay, who founded the Chatham-Kent chapter of Canadian Food for Children, say the work will continue, but they need to find new one-level warehouse space to make it easier on volunteers.
