Vernon: Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Rather unbenown to me, Habitat for Humanity opened a ReStore in Vernon, hidden in the back building of a mall off the highway.

Located at 2707C 43 Avenue just west of the highway.

Pandemic-induced closures

The SARS COVID 19 pandemic is causing thrift shops to close for safety of the volunteers, patrons and other staff.  It appeared to start with health care auxiliaries which are usually staffed by volunteers who are also retired health care workers and has since expanded to other non-profit thrift shops.  Realising the vulnerability of the older population, as well as the necessity to avoid unnecessary contact, many of these thrift shops are closed until further notice.

Please check before you go. Post above list thrift shops and their closed-until dates.
