'Helping Hands' nonprofit in Derby needs volunteers

DERBY - On Thursday I visited St. Vincent de Paul, Helping Hands of the Valley Thrift Shop and Food Bank and chatted with thrift shop manager Cindy Barbian.

She and executive director Sandi Bailie are always grateful for the community's assistance and donations. The proceeds from the shop at 237 Roosevelt Drive go toward purchasing food for the nonprofit's food pantry.

Barbian said what they need are volunteers to help with the sorting of donations and to work on the shop's selling floor. 

Items may be be dropped off between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday. There is a red bin in the parking lot for clothing donations.

The nonprofit does a great job in helping the needy in the Valley.
While I was there a took a few photos to give folks an idea of what the organization does.

The store features gently used clothing for men, women, and children, housewares, books, toys and more. Prices are always more than reasonable!

Below is a display of girl's summer clothing:


And these photos show some of the shelves in the adjacent food pantry:
