Brandon’s MCC Thrift Store has been celebrating their 30th Anniversary at the Pacific Avenue location over the past few months.

Manager, Shelly Burrows, says they were able to recognize exactly when the most shoppers come in to the thrift shop due to their 3 months of extended hours.

Since then they have changed their hours of operation. Monday to Friday the thrift shop is open from 10am-6pm, and Saturday from 10am-4:30pm.

Burrows says most MCC stores have levelled off in their monthly giving to MCC Manitoba. However, the Brandon location is still on the increase, recently giving $115,000 to MCC Manitoba from April to November in 2016.

She says there is a real need and demand for MCC and the help they provide to the community.

The average daily income for the Brandon MCC location is approximately $1300.00 per day; 50 % of the profits going to MCC Manitoba to help projects locally, and in 63 countries.
