“I tell people that I kinda manifest things, here,” says Sage Kitchen, about the positive energy she brings to her Vicky’s Values customers searching for that special something. “But then again,” she adds with a laugh, “they do that for themselves, too! They may not find it right away, but they probably will the next day!”

Hear the story of the store-with-more, which supports Women’s Resources, as told by Sage and others, in our new episode of In Good Company with Wards Lawyers.

The people who shop here are kind, loving individuals,” says Kelly Stockdale, manager of Vicky’s Values. “They really stand behind what we do.” The thrift-store-with-more is one of the main fundraisers for Women’s Resources, a non-profit that supports women and their children fleeing abuse.

Also, it’s a really cool place to find really cool stuff! Hear the story of Vicky’s Values, as told by Kelly, along with staff, volunteers and a loyal customer, in our new episode of In Good Company with Wards Lawyers.

🎒📚 Look at this mountain of school supplies our team (and our wonderful community!) has collected so far for local students through the Kawartha-Haliburton Children's Foundation! 🙌

We have until noon tomorrow to make this pile even bigger. If you've got new backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, or other school essentials to spare, drop them by 84 Kent Street West, Lindsay tomorrow.

Every item helps a local child start the school year feeling prepared and confident. Let's fill this mountain even higher! 💛

It’s more than just a thrift shop, really. Because every purchase – from kitchen knick-knacks to designer clothing - goes towards helping women and their children fleeing abuse. And that support for Women’s Resources isn’t lost on the customers who shop Vicky’s Values for that special find...

Turning 18 comes with a lot of "firsts" - but here's one most people don't think about: becoming legally responsible for your own decisions. 😳

Once you're an adult, privacy laws mean your parents can't automatically access your medical info or make decisions for you in an emergency - even if you're still on their insurance plan.

A Power of Attorney lets you choose who can step in for healthcare decisions AND financial/legal matters if something unexpected happens. It's not about age or health - it's about being prepared. 📝

Our latest blog breaks down exactly what a POA for Property and a POA for Personal Care cover, and why every young adult in Ontario should have both. Link below! 👇
