Description

Description (Service)
It Takes A Village is a community resource centre, supporting people in the application of social justice principles. We have a moneyless second hand store, a self attesting food pantry and help community members navigating paths with addiction, mental illness, hunger and food insecurity and other struggles, to access supportive resources in the community. We 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 back ground checks for volunteers, as we hope to give people a safe and supportive environment in which to reintegrate and re establish 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 we are grateful for 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!
