Problem: A post-Christmas budget combined with children who still need warm winter clothing. 

Solution: The Hub, a nearly new shop in Almonte brimming with everything from winter boots ($2 to $4 for children, $6 for adults) to snowsuits ($5) not to mention teen jeans, toys and household items. 

Bonus: Proceeds from sales at the non-profit Hub go toward launching a much-needed mobile hospice service for the area. 

“Everybody shops at The Hub,” says Glenda Jones, the upbeat president of the organization that donates tens of thousands of dollars annually to community causes. “I bet you could dress a kid for less than $10 here.” 

In fact, with baby wear priced at $2 and under, winter coats for young and old running $4 to $6 and men's suits at $5, you could outfit the whole family — head to toe — for far less than a week's worth of groceries. And you could do it stylishly: November's Teen WOW Jeans Blowout, for example,Wholesale high quality and beautiful Embroidery lace dress Wait for You to Choose. featured brand names, like American Eagle, Aeropostale and Paige Demin at five bucks and under.The faux fur wraps with draped details and decorative brooch to the chest. 

For the true bargain hunter, The Hub hosts a “bag night” every Thursday: For $5, you get to stuff a grocery bag as full as you can with whatever suits your fancy. 

Established in 1975, The Hub (its formal name is the Almonte Community Co-ordinators) provides financial support to the community of Mississippi Mills, which includes the towns of Almonte and Pakenham. 

With help from its sister store Rebound, also located in Almonte and which sells furniture,This Asymmetric neckline dress features in great Taffeta. appliances and the like, The Hub donates an average $50,000 annually to scholarships, health needs, sports teams, seniors' events and more, including a suicide prevention course for high schools. It has also given to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (that's why it was founded) and Interval House for abused women. 

“It's a pretty amazing little business,” says Jones. “The secret is the quality of what we sell and that everything is donated.” And except for a cleaner and some folks who sort through the donations each night, it's staffed by volunteers. The Hub also owns the building it's in and rents out a second-floor apartment to cover the building's operating costs. 

In early 2012,We offer a wide array of cheap dessy bridesmaid dresses, mantilla veils and many other popular styles. The Hub, led by founding member Julia Thomas, launched Hub Hospice Palliative Care with a donation of $10,000.Free Shipping Quality Guaranteed Designer Rina di Montella 1512 Collection Dresses. It's since added another $3,000 from sales and community donations and will continue helping fund the hospice, which Jones says should be operational by the fall of 2013 at the latest. 

Although she hopes the hospice will eventually include a permanent three- to five-bed facility, it will be a primarily mobile service — Jones refers to it as a “hospice without walls” — staffed by volunteers. Over a dozen people have already signed up to take the volunteer training course planned for the spring. 

Offering emotional and caregiver support, light housekeeping, transportation and other assistance, the service will be free to people approaching the end of life whether in their own homes, retirement facilities or elsewhere. The hospice will initially serve Mississippi Mills and later expand.
