Value VIllage III

This time, from the manager of a non-profit in Barrie, Ontario after the collapse of the local Goodwill chapter in Toronto

You may also be aware that Value Village operates for profit and it has been purported that only about 11% of the funds generated from donations actually goes to the charities they support. I have asked them to disclose what % of revenue from donations goes to the charities and because they are a private company owned by a billionaire and private equity firms in the U.S. they do not have to legally disclose this information and I never received a reply.
I have a better idea for those donating their items. I am working on one of my remaining bucket list items which is opening a location on weekends ideally in the downtown Barrie area called “Give and Get”. I have been told by many that although there are resources available during the week, there is virtually nothing on weekends
