Clothes Hamper donates $15,000 to Kincardine hospital foundation

The Clothes Hamper Thrift Store in downtown Kincardine has done it again, donating another $15,000 to the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation. To date, the store has donated almost $450,000 to the foundation for much-needed equipment at the Kincardine Hospital.

Run completely by volunteers, the Clothes Hamper offers good-quality used clothing for men, women and children, from newborn to plus-sizes, and maternity clothes and scrubs, as well as purses, backpacks and shoes. It also has men's suits available, but you have to ask for them.

The shop welcomes donations of in-season clothing, footwear, linens, toys, puzzles, jewellery, newer books, purses and backpacks, but no household goods including glass or nick-knacks. It is appreciated that the clothing be clean and in good repair, no tears or rips, and with working zippers and buttons.

The Clothes Hamper is located just off the driveway across from the Kincardine Library in downtown Kincardine. It is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
