Did you know when you donate used items to the Nearly New second-hand shop, the money raised stays in Brandon and goes to buy equipment for our hospital? The Nearly New Shop and all its volunteers wish to thank the Brandon and Westman area for your great support. We look forward to your continued help. Please come and see us at 1328 Rosser Avenue or call 728-7137.
