We appreciate your very generous donations, but please don't include adult clothing that teens wouldn't wear, we have no space for them. Thank you

Community Life Centre (CLC) September Shop Dates - we plan for the 2nd Tuesday, 3rd Saturday and 4th Tuesday. We welcome the donations of your gently used children's infant to teenager clothing, boots, shoes, toys, and books. Families continuing to donate help keep the CLC open, without donating back we wouldn't be able to provide our FREE shop days. Our donation shed is open 24/7, however, our volunteers get overwhelmed with items we can't share with shoppers. Please don't leave, strollers, cribs, carseats, highchairs, adult clothing that teenagers wouldn't wear, home decor, household/kitchen items, or broken toys. If items have been donated into our shed, they are NOT available for taking yet. Please don't help yourself out of our donation shed.

PLEASE DON'T take donated items out of our donation shed without permission. We were purposely leaving the little pink kitchen there till Tuesday, we knew it was there. Thank you!

Special thanks to all who helped make our Kicks for Kids a success, without NLA, Community Partners, Donators, and our CLC/Kicks for Kids Volunteers, this day couldn't happen! We are filled with joy knowing so many children will return to school with a "fresh step"

Thank you to all who continue to donate your gently used children's items. With your continued support the CLC was able to assist with the wild fire disaster relief. Thank you for being families who help families.

Brooke Schrijver, Ritchie Auctioneers, Rowcliffe Trucking, Williams Farms, PCR, Harvest Hands, CLC, and so many more supported, arranged, sorted, shared, and slugged to aid those who lost so much. Then the community stepped up - you did it! Amazing support.

What an amazing day at Eats Beats and Boutiques!
The CLC (Community Life Centre) would like to thank the organizers for the town-wide street party, there was something for everyone!
We would also like to thank Great Pretenders Creative Education for donating "giveaways" for the day. Our team loved handing items out, and having people stop by and chat about who the CLC is, and how we work.
Special mention to our CLC organizing, setup, take-down and scheduled "onsite" volunteer teams, thank you for making this day happen. Many hands made lighter work.

Don't forget to check the CLC booth out at Eats, Beats and Boutiques across from the Coffee Lodge in Petrolia, today Saturday June 6 1pm to 9pm. We have some goodies from Great Pretenders Creative Education to give away while they last. Shuttle locations are available for parking. Check the Eats, Beats, and Boutiques page for locations.
