Vinnies is dedicated to giving back to the community. Profits made from the thrift store go towards their food bank and other special projects to help support Peterborough.
“What people don’t know when they shop at Vinnies is that it really helps the less fortunate in our community,” said Sue Mazziotti-Armitage, Client Care Coordinator.
Their food bank wants to provide nutritious options and staple items to help with the daily needs of Peterborough. Fresh produce, fresh eggs, personal items, feminine hygiene products, meat and much more.
“We get to buy regular everyday staples that people suffering from food insecurities or lack of money can get,” said Mazziotti-Armitage. “The community supports us by bringing the donations down to us.”
Vinnies has helped over 20,000 families in Peterborough and the Kawarthas last year.
