The news has come out Vinnies is going almost when its doors are about to close.

This small shop by Coles in the Ferny Grove Shopping Village on McGinn Rd has provided so much help to local families using local volunteer service. It ensures that secondhand clothes and goods are recycled in the community and provide cheaper prices to those who need them.

We simply cannot afford to lose shops and services of this calibre locally. We are MUCH poorer off as a community without them.
