Divorcing Value Village in Nanaimo

One of the B.C. non-profits that previously has sold donations to Value Village opened its own store in the middle of last year.  The Nanaimo branch of Big Brother and Big Sisters has opened the BIG Deals Clothing Program store at its 2030 Northfield Road location, open We-Sa 10-15.  The Boston, U.S.A. chapter realised a 4x revenue gain when it terminated its relationship with Value Village and began to operate its own store(s), despite added operating expenses.  I hope the other BC and national chapters of BB&BS and other charities will find the gumption and vision to do the same.
