NOVA West Island (formerly VON) is a charitable foundation that offers home palliative care, cancer support groups and runs 2 adult day centers for the elderly. They run three locations of second-hand stores which help raise funds for these endeavors; They receive no provincial or federal government funding. The dedicated volunteers have managed to raise nearly 1.25 million dollars over the past 10 years.
They have recently moved in Ste Anne de Bellevue to a new big home which used to be a gym, so they now have 6,000 sq. ft. to fill with goodies for you. You can scoop up clothing for the family nicely hung on racks or look for shoes, purses and hats. There’s lots of furniture, home knick-knacks, china, glassware and books too. It makes sense to find your way out here to shop and to spend money for a great cause. You can also donate your treasures for them to sell.

Locations: new home, 43 St-Anne at Lamarche (514-457-1642); bookstore (514-457-1948); 449 boul. Beaconsfield (514-694-8417);  2750 boul. St-Charles at Woodland (514-697-6692)
