The Up Shoppe is a social enterprise of North End Women’s Centre. We are a thrift store that accepts donations of new and gently used clothing and accessories. We carefully select the best of the best and then re-sell for a very reasonable cost. The proceeds from the sales go directly back into the programs and services supporting folks in our community.
EMERGENCY WAGES PROGRAM: Participants can work in the Up Shoppe up to 26 hours at a living wage to pay down a debt.
REFERRAL PROGRAM: Provides emergency clothing free of charge to people in critical need.
