The Canadian Mental Health Association of Thompson will be completing renovations to the Charlie’s Thrift Store toward the end of June.

Meanwhile, they are asking the community to offer their generous donations to other non-profits in the city.

The new store will more up-to-date and provide easier access to customers.

Stephanie Hysert with the CMHA, also provides more details about their Connections Club House.

“The program’s achievement includes life skills development where participants gain essential skills to enhance their daily functioning and overall wellbeing. We have one on one support to address unique needs and challenges while personal growth initiatives promotes confidence, self esteem and purpose.”  

The Club House offers multiple cooking sessions per month to promote healthy eating habits, outings that encourage social interaction and community engagement, and there are regular game days.

This summer, club members will also be doing gardening at their many facilities.

Hysert said the club house will be closed June 3rd to 6th, as staff will be away.  They will re-open on June 9th.
