Where your money goes to at Hidden Treasures

A CBC news article about a prisoner escape at the minimum security prison a few minute's walk from where we're housesitting caught my eye.

Hidden Treasures, with branches in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, is the thrift shop arm of M2W2 where volunteers mentor and guide prisoners who wish to be rehabilitated for reintroduction into life in civil society.  Prison is not just for punishment, but should be also rehabilitative. Unfortunately governmental efforts usually fall far short.

M2W2 needs volunteers as their force is getting older.  Consider volunteering if you live in the area.
