Newark Neighbours finds new, larger home

Newark Neighbours, Niagara-on-the-Lake’s local food bank and thrift store, has been proudly and successfully serving local residents for more than 50 years.

As many are aware, Newark Neighbours has far outgrown its current space. The board and volunteers are very pleased to announce that we have secured a new space for our services and operations at 1534 Niagara Stone Road, Virgil (the former Lincoln Interiors store). Our thrift store and food bank will remain in full operation at our current location on 310 John Street East (on Riverbend Inn property) until our re-location; we will continue to gratefully accept all donations on John Street until our re-location.

Planning is currently underway for design and construction of our new space to meet the needs for both segments of our operations. Interior renovations will occur in the next few months with the goal of moving to our new location on Niagara Stone Road this spring or early summer.

We are excited about the possibilities that this new and improved location and space will provide for our thrift store customers and our food bank clients. We are confident they will greatly appreciate our new and improved facilities and surroundings.

The Newark Neighbours board and volunteers thank the staff and management of Riverbend Inn for being gracious and supportive neighbours for the last 30 years. We will miss our current home and are confident our new location will continue to serve our community for many years to come.

Newark Neighbours’ mission is Serving our Community with Compassion, Care and Concern; our vision is that no resident in Niagara-
on-the-Lake need be hungry. Newark Neighbours is a registered not-for-profit organization with an elected board of directors and entirely volunteer staff that relies solely on donations and thrift shop sales. To donate, or to learn more about our organization, please visit www.newarkneighbours.ca
