St. David's
~ Thrift Shop
continues to
find support

Glen Freeman
NEWS REPORTER

St. David’s Thrift Shop is 20 years young.

And young — at heart — is a good way to
describe the 40 or so volunteers who make the
thrift shop work.

“These ladies keep the. thrift shop running
smoothly,” said Frances Hunter, chairperson of
the thrift shop committee.

“But it’s really the community that keeps us
afloat,” added Hunter.

“They donate everything we have in our
store.”

And this store has everything.

“We have toys, books, records, some
furniture and radios, shoes, you name it,” said
Hunter.

“Some people think we only have clothes, but
that’s just not right.”

However, the 601 Columbia Avenue thrift
shop does have a large selection of clothes in
stock. :

And if the traditional method of trying on
clothes isn’t for you, this could be your place to
shop, too.

“T remember there: was one older lady who
wanted to buy a girdle,” said volunteer Jean
Lundquist.

“But when she found one she wasn’t sure it
would fit.

“So I pulled the girdle up over my pants, and
modeled it for her.”

A crowded thrift shop didn’t deter
Lundquist, and she made the sale.

As with most thrift shop’s, money generated
from sales goes to a good cause.

In the case of St. David’s Thrift Shop, all
money raised goes directly to Castlegar’s
Anglican and United churches, to help “cover
the little extras” that they are faced with.

The fact that the women of St. David’s
provide an environmentally friendly service is
just another little extra.

“What would normally go to the dump is now
being reused,” said volunteer Joyce Macbeth.

“And we started this before recycling was a
common word.”

One word that has been common around the
St. David’s thrift shop for a long time now is
success. f

“For the last 20 years we have made a
worthwhile profit,” said Hunter.

“But there is still room for improvement.”

So if you would like to help the oldest

_Castlegar-area thrift shop to improve, take

Frances Hunter’s advice.

“Come down to our shop and look around,”
she said.

“We really have a lot to offer.”
