The store is operated by a dedicated team of volunteers, including students and staff members from \u00c9cole secondaire catholique La Citadelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denise Dumais, an inspiring advocate and founding member of La Friperie, emphasized the store\u2019s open-door policy. \u201cWe welcome everyone who truly needs a helping hand she said. Our shelves rely on the generosity of Cornwall residents \u2013 we accept donations of kitchenware, home furnishings, clothing, bedding as well as children\u2019s books and toys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Club Richelieu\u2019s timely contribution of children\u2019s winter apparel highlights the power of community collaboration. La Friperie encourages continued support in the form of cash donations as well as new or gently-used items in order to pursue its mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Friperie is open on Mondays. Its entrance is located in La Citadelle\u2019s main parking lot. To drop off a donation or visit the thrift store, please call ahead 613-933-8104.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornwallseawaynews.com\/local\/la-friperie-welcomes-childrens-winter-coat-donation-from-club-richelieu\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cornwallseawaynews.com\/lexpress\/la-friperie-et-le-club-richelieu-gardent-les-enfants-au-chaud-cet-hiver\/\">This article was originally published here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avec l\u2019hiver qui approche, le Club Richelieu a collabor\u00e9 avec Giant Tiger pour assurer la livraison rapide de quarante manteaux d\u2019hiver pour enfants \u00e0 La Friperie, un magasin caritatif local.
