Sometimes I think the service we provide just isn't enough to make a difference in anyone's life other than the shopper looking for a bargain. Sometimes I think that it's just not worth the time spent by employed staff and volunteers. As a retired teacher, still trying to work in an ethical profession, it's gratifying to hear that the money raised on a daily basis is going to kids who really need a chance to experience what many take for granted. Camp may not last forever, but thank you for giving them memories which will. Sincerely, Jeff I’ve been a thrift store clerk in Strathroy, Ontario for less than a year.
