The founders of the very first MCC Thrift Shop in North America have been recognized by the Nellie McClung Foundation. The organization has named Selma Loewen, Sara Stoesz, Linie Friesen, Susan Giesbrecht and the dozens of women who helped found the first MCC Thrift shop in Altona as recipients of the 150 Manitoba Women Trailblazer Awards.
According to the foundation, the Trailblazer Award salutes the contributions that women have made to social justice, arts, sports, politics, community activities and promoting democracy while continuing to develop the great province of Manitoba.
Selma, Sara, Linie and Susan spearheaded the idea of selling second-hand clothing and giving the money they generated to MCC.
