“People come from all over the Okanagan, partly because they know that we’re all volunteers,” Marge Burtch, Bargain Bin coordinator, said. “We get incredible support from our communities with armfuls of donations so we’re always busy behind the scenes and on the sales floor. The heartfelt thank-yous that we get, particularly from individuals who are impacted, that’s what warms our hearts and keeps us going.”

The overall goal of the fundraiser is $275,000.

“This is such a great example of how small acts can create a huge impact, with one household donation at a time or one small purchase at a time. This amazing group of volunteers continues to improve our community for the better,” Kate McBrearty, the executive director of the VJH Foundation, said.
