The Colborne Second Helpings store is celebrating its move
with to Victoria Square with a grand re-opening winter fashion display!

The Northumberland Big Sisters Big Brothers released this press statement announcing the grand opening of the Colborne Second Helpings store in its new location.

After more than a decade at its King Street location, Northumberland Big Sisters Big Brothers’ Colborne Store has moved around the corner to Victoria Square.

We’re celebrating with a grand opening featuring the store’s best winter fashions displayed on Colborne’s first-ever living mannequins! We will also be unveiling our exciting new Second Helpings coupon books, priced right at $5 per book for savings of $100 or more.

Topped off with local hot cider and cookies, this is an event not to be missed! Join us on Saturday, November 21 from 10 to 2 at 18 Victoria Square (just south of the Home Hardware) in Colborne.

Over the past thirty years, Northumberland Big Sisters has operated Second Helpings thrift stores in Brighton, Colborne and Port Hope. These stores have been a mainstay in the agency’s budget: at the same time they offer communities a place to purchase affordable clothing and household goods, as well as a way of recycling their used items.

Although the Brighton store closed five years ago, the Colborne and Port Hope outlets are still going strong, providing jobs for managers, volunteer opportunities and training positions for co-op students.
