CCNH thrift shops have volunteers with heart

December 22, 2016

At first glance the busy thrift shops located on Hastings Street in Bancroft or on Hwy. 62 in Coe Hill look like any other retail store offering a mix of gently used household goods, books, children’s toys, jewelry, craft supplies, gift baskets for all seasons and more!
